The complex envelope in seismic signal analysis

JOHN S. FARNBACH

SEISMOLOGICAL INSTITUTE, BOX 517 S-751 20 UPPSALA, Sweden

Abstract

Some practical implications of the complex envelope representation of seismic signals are presented. Beginning with a look at an artificially constructed signal and proceeding to seismic records, it is seen that the complex envelope is more amenable to visual interpretation than the real signal itself. This is attributed to the natural separation of amplitude information from angle information afforded by the complex representation, and examples of arrival time measurement and P-coda correlation suggest that this leads to concrete seismological benefits. On this basis, it is suggested that the complex envelope may be a useful tool in seismic signal analysis.
