DETERMINATION OF RESISTIVITY SOUNDING FILTERS BY THE WIENER‐HOPF LEAST‐SQUARES METHOD*

Abstract
It has been found that the Wiener‐Hopf least‐squares method is a very successful tool for the determination of resistivity sounding filters. The values of the individual filter coefficients differ quite appreciably from those obtained by the Ghosh procedure. These differences in the filter coefficients, however, have only a negligible effect on the output of the filter. It seems that these differences in the coefficients correspond to a filter function of a rather narrow frequency band around the Nyquist frequency, which is only very weakly present in the input and output functions.
