Filed: 2018-11-30
Abstract: A direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signal (300, Fig. 3) is prepended with a preamble (310, Fig. 3). The preamble is generated in a DSSS transmitter by first generating a preamble-codeword in a frequency domain and then transforming the preamble-codeword into the time domain. The preamble codeword comprises a plurality of non-uniformly distributed frequencies. In one embodiment a code acquisition module 520 for a DSSS receiver includes a Sparse Discrete Fourier transform (SDFT) module 522 configured to perform an SDFT on a preamble of a received DSSS frame 510 to calculate Fourier coefficients 523 for the plurality of distributed frequencies. The Fourier coefficients are multiplied 524 by the complex conjugates of reference Fourier coefficients 525 of a reference preamble-codeword which corresponds to the preamble-codeword used by the transmitter. The multiplier output can be regarded as time-domain cross-correlation signal 527. A delay estimation 528 for the received DSSS frame is generated from the cross-correlation signal. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 7) the code acquisition module uses optical frequency combs 710, 720, a wavelength demultiplexer, 750, and a plurality of balanced detectors 760.

Title: Method of analysing seismic data
Inventor: Øyvind Magne Skjaeveland
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2019-05-03
Abstract: A set of tiles 12 is determined from a cube of seismic data. A tile is a two-dimensional portion of the seismic data cube representing a small piece of a reflector surface in the subsurface e.g. a horizon from which seismic data derives. Patches are determined from tiles which can be grouped together, e.g. tiles which line up with each other, within a tolerance. Tiles may be determined by identifying local maxima, and may use machine learning. The tiles and/or patches may be analysed to determine a geological feature such as an unconformity, pinchout, flatspot, multiple or fault. The method may be computer implemented, and may be used to determine the possible location of hydrocarbons. Identifying tiles and then forming patches from the tiles allows the seismic data to be easily analysed.
