imaginary angular frequency I also makes it possible to choose a larger k , and<br />

therefore makes the calculation faster (Chen, 1991, Page 89). Let Tmax be the time<br />

window length, Vmax be the maximum velocity in the study area. Then we choose L =<br />

1.5VmaxTmax, k = 2/L, so that the first arrivals from other artificial sources are beyond<br />

the time window selected. A proper choice of imaginary frequency is I = /Tmax. The<br />

smaller I is, the smaller distortion of the waveform will be. However, if I is too small,<br />

some numerical artifacts caused by discrete Fourier transform may show up at the<br />

beginning of a wave trace. To make the numerical integral convergent, the summation<br />

upper limit M() should be large enough (e.g., M ( ) B | | / V m in , B=1.5 ~ 3).<br />

2.4.2 Cased borehole<br />

The first verification test is a four-layer cased borehole model chosen from Tubman<br />

et al. (1984), (see Figure 2.1). The model parameters are listed in Table 2.1. The<br />

spectrum of the source function is described by<br />
