Comparison of receiver function deconvolution techniques
… A receiver function is a time-series record of the P-to-S (Ps) teleseismic wave conversions within the earth and can be viewed as the Earth's impulse response. An RF is extracted from seismic data by deconvolving the observed trace from an estimate of the source wavelet. Due to the presence …
