Abstract:The synthetic aperture (SA) method has recently found applications in analysis of the low frequency marine controlled source electromagnetic data. It has been shown in numbers of publications that SA method can enhance the response from an anomalous target. However, the SA method may not only 'steer' the EM field in the area of interest, but also steer the noise, thus unreasonably amplifying the noise level. In addition, the current realizations of the SA method are themselves very sensitive to the noise in th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
