Particulars of the attenuation parameter determining from real data

https://doi.org/10.18303/2619-1563-2022-4-54

Abstract

The paper considers the estimation of the attenuation parameter using the method of spectral ratios. Based on model and real data, it is shown that in order to obtain stable estimates, it is necessary to have the most complete information about the structure-velocity characteristics of the medium. Also, an important aspect of data preprocessing is to take into account changes in the waveform associated with the transmission medium.
