Abstract:
A method and system for designing a discrete-time filter having a transfer function which approximates that of an analog shelf filter is disclosed. Prior art methods include applying the bilinear transform to the analog filter, which has the drawback of warping high-frequency features of the desired transfer function. In an embodiment of the present invention, an analog filter is designed which anticipates the warping imposed by the bilinear transform. For filters whose features approach the Nyquist limit, the inventive method provides a closer approximation to the analog response than direct application of the bilinear transform.
Abstract:
A method and system for the design and implementation of desensitized digital filters with droop correction. The desensitized digital filter includes a first filter configured to receive an input signal, a decimator or upsampler, and a modified desensitized half-band filter. The first filter introduces droop into the passband of the desensitized digital filter. The desensitized half-band filter has a transfer function F(z)=K(1+z−1)G(z) wherein K≠0 is a scale factor, that is modified to omit a (1+z−1) factor block. The modified desensitized half-band filter compensates for the passband droop introduced by the first filter. The first filter may be a sinc filter, CIC filter, or filter having similar properties.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for use in a multi-channel digital transmitter and receiver. A filtering process is accomplished by conditioning portions of a digitized signal during digital signal processing by integrating, taking the difference of, and multiplying portions of the digitized signal. The filtering process may be used in conjunction with a receiving process to generate a digitized channel signal by conditioning the digitized signal and subsequently Fourier transforming the conditioned portions of the digitized signal. Alternatively, the filtering process may be used in conjunction with a transmitting process by inverse Fourier transforming a plurality of digitized information signals to be transmitted to generating a composite digitized signal and subsequently conditioning the composite digitized signal.

A method of velocity filtering seismic signals and an installation for implementing the method. A two-dimensional signal g(z,t) is available built up from a set of signals .sub.i (t) for I>i>n as produced by sound wave detectors located at different depths z.sub.1, . . . z.sub.n in a borehole in response to sound waves being emitted from a source as seismic waves, with said detected signals including upgoing waves and downgoing waves. In order to reinforce the upgoing waves (or conversely the downgoing waves) in the signal g(z,t), an operator A is applied recursively to said signal, where: A=1/2[Id+.epsilon..B.H.sub.t.D.sub.z ] where: Id is the identity operator; .epsilon.=+1(or -1); B is normalization factor whose value depends on the signal g(z,t) to which the operator A is applied; H.sub.t is the one-dimensional Hilbert operator relating to the variable t; and D.sub.z is a differentiation operator relating to the variable z.
