Start an octave session and then type SASW Note, capital letters are important since that agrees with the file SASW.m This code takes two signals from a shot gather to compute a cross spectrum leading to a dispersion curve. Prompts: 1). enter file name, example: c008.seg 2). GUI Pop up to select fmin, fmax vmin vmax 3), Info GUI pops up and shows both time and spatial sample intervals. Recommended trace separation is indicated on last line. If high frequencies are chosen, then too large a separation between the two geophone stations can lead to aliasing. 4). GUI enter tmax, near trace number, far trace number. For example: tmax =1.0 trace R1 = 2 trace R2 = 3 (this would follow a recommendation that R2-R1 be no larger than 1) When only two offsets are used, one should always look at the entire shot gather first and select traces likely to be dominated by the fundamental mode (typically close to the source).
The program produces two figures. One shows the cross power spectrum and coherence (Figure 20). The other figure shows the dispersion over a range of frequencies selected in the GUI prompt when the code is run (Figure 21).
The code determines a time shift, , between geophones with a separation of to compute a phase velocity at each frequency of interest. If is the unwrapped phase angle at a frequency of interest, then
