Abstract

Side lobes of the wavelets arise from the lack of low frequency content in a reflection wavelet. They tend to increase the time span of an individual reflection event and interfere with the other primary reflections or side lobes. Furthermore, their trace-by-trace consistency may produce pseudo-reflections and may cause misinterpretations of the side lobes as weak reflections.
