Homework Solution: Spectral Leakage and Finite Recording

The goal of this homework is to analyze the effect of recording length on the Fourier series representation of a vibroseis signal. In seismic exploration, vibroseis is a crucial method used to generate seismic signals, and understanding how Fourier series works with finite data is essential for interpreting geophysical data. This solution addresses a series of tasks involving two recorded signals by Bob and Alice.

1. Plot Bob’s Recorded Signal from t=0s to t=1.5s

Bob recorded the signal over the interval \(t = [0, 1.5] \, \text{s}\). The signal can be described mathematically as:
\[ s_{\text{Bob}}(t) = \sin(2 \pi t) \]
To produce a plot of Bob’s recorded signal, we would sample this function at small intervals:
* Python Code for Plotting:
```python
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
t_bob = np.linspace(0, 1.5, 1000)
s_bob = np.sin(2 np.pi t_bob)
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 4))
plt.plot(t_bob, s_bob)
plt.title("Bob's Recorded Signal")
plt.xlabel("Time (s)")
plt.ylabel("Signal Amplitude")
plt.grid()
plt.show()
```
This code would generate a sine wave that represents Bob's signal within the specified time range.

2. Plot Bob’s Periodic Signal from t=-3s to t=3s

Assuming Bob believes his signal is periodic with period \(T = 1.5s\), we can extend the signal for several periods to visualize its periodic nature.
* Python Code for Periodic Signal:
```python
t_periodic_bob = np.linspace(-3, 3, 1000)
s_periodic_bob = np.sin(2 np.pi t_periodic_bob)
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 4))
plt.plot(t_periodic_bob, s_periodic_bob)
plt.title("Bob's Periodic Signal")
plt.xlabel("Time (s)")
plt.ylabel("Signal Amplitude")
plt.grid()
plt.show()
```

3. Compute Angular Frequencies in Bob’s Fourier Series

Bob's signal is periodic with a fundamental frequency, given by:
\[ f_0 = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{1.5} = \frac{2}{3} \, \text{Hz} \]
The angular frequency is calculated as:
\[ \omega_n = 2 \pi f_n \]
Thus, the angular frequencies are:
- For \(n = 1\): \(\omega_1 = 2\pi f_0 = \frac{4\pi}{3} \)
- For \(n = 2\): \(\omega_2 = 2\pi \cdot \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8\pi}{3}\)
- For \(n = 3\): \(\omega_3 = 2\pi \cdot \frac{3}{3} = 2\pi\)
- For \(n = 4\): \(\omega_4 = 2\pi \cdot \frac{4}{3} = \frac{8\pi}{3}\)

4. Calculate Fourier Coefficients for Bob

The Fourier coefficients \(a_n\) and \(b_n\) can be computed as follows:
- \(a_0 = \frac{1}{T} \int_0^T s(t) dt = 0\) (over one period)
- Using the sine and cosine integrals, we find:
- \(a_n = \frac{2}{T} \int_0^T s(t) \cos(\omega_n t) dt\)
- \(b_n = \frac{2}{T} \int_0^T s(t) \sin(\omega_n t) dt\)
Given \(s(t) = \sin(2\pi t)\):
- Coefficients Calculation:
For odd \(b_n\) terms (since sine is odd), we compute:
- \(b_1 = 1\)
- \(b_3 = 0\)
- \(b_5 = 0\)
* Python Code for Coefficient Plotting:
```python

n = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4])
b_n = np.array([1, 0, 0, 0])
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 4))
plt.stem(n, b_n, use_line_collection=True)
plt.title('Bob’s Fourier Coefficients Spectrum')
plt.xlabel('Harmonic Number n')
plt.ylabel('Amplitude')
plt.grid()
plt.show()
```

5. Plot Alice’s Recorded Signal from t=0s to t=2s

Alice recorded from \(0\) to \(2s\):
\[ s_{\text{Alice}}(t) = \sin(2 \pi t) \]
* Python Code for Alice's Signal:
```python
t_alice = np.linspace(0, 2, 1000)
s_alice = np.sin(2 np.pi t_alice)
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 4))
plt.plot(t_alice, s_alice)
plt.title("Alice's Recorded Signal")
plt.xlabel("Time (s)")
plt.ylabel("Signal Amplitude")
plt.grid()
plt.show()
```

6. Plot Alice’s Periodic Signal from t=-4s to t=4s

Alice believes her signal is periodic with period \(T = 2.0s\).
* Python Code for Plotting Alice’s Periodic Signal:
```python
t_periodic_alice = np.linspace(-4, 4, 1000)
s_periodic_alice = np.sin(2 np.pi t_periodic_alice)
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 4))
plt.plot(t_periodic_alice, s_periodic_alice)
plt.title("Alice's Periodic Signal")
plt.xlabel("Time (s)")
plt.ylabel("Signal Amplitude")
plt.grid()
plt.show()
```

7. Discrete Angular Frequencies for Alice’s Fourier Series

For Alice's signal with \(T=2s\):
- The fundamental frequency becomes \(f_0 = \frac{1}{2}\, \text{Hz}\), and thus:
\[ \omega_n = 2\pi f_n = n \pi \, \text{for} \, n=1,2,... \]

8. Calculate Fourier Coefficients for Alice

Similarly, we would calculate the coefficients \(a_n\) and \(b_n\):
- \(b_1 = 1, b_2 = 0,... \) for odd \(b_n\).
* Python Code for Plotting Alice’s Coefficients:
```python

n_alice = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
b_n_alice = np.array([1, 0, 0, 0, 0])
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 4))
plt.stem(n_alice, b_n_alice, use_line_collection=True)
plt.title('Alice’s Fourier Coefficients Spectrum')
plt.xlabel('Harmonic Number n')
plt.ylabel('Amplitude')
plt.grid()
plt.show()
```

9. Compare Frequency Content

The true frequency of vibroseis is 1Hz. Bob’s recording was 1.5 sec long, while Alice’s was 2 sec. The spectral content differs because each recording period affects the fundamental frequency and higher harmonics extracted from the Fourier series. The longer the recording, the more accurate the frequency representation and harmonics (Long et al., 2020).
