The application of Prony's decomposition in the analysis of seismic signals

The article presents the results of Prony decomposition using real and synthetic data as an example. This decomposition allows us to obtain the following parameters of a seismic record: attenuation, amplitude, frequency, and phase. The attenuation parameter is associated with the characteristics of the rocks in the geological section, in particular, the compaction of the rocks. The results of the study demonstrate a high correlation between the quality factor, which is the inverse of the obtained attenuation value, and the density of the rocks in the section.
