S U M M A R Y This paper presents a modified form of polarization position correlation (PPC) operator which can be used to separate P-and S-waves in a multicomponent seismic profile. The essence of the method (in seeking S-wave extinction) is to form a dot product between the signal vector and the slowness vector during projection of the seismic section into t -p space, using the P-wave velocity profile measured along the array. The dot product (in effect) is a linear controlled direction reception filter (CDR type 1) which selectively passes only P arrivals.The second step is to use the converse rotation operator, during the forward transform, to compute both the P-wave w-p 'pass plane' and the orthogonal P-wave 'extinction plane'. The two together are needed in order to preserve a measure of the total energy falling within any w-p pixel in the original time sections. The extinction plane on its own gives a measure of the success achieved by the CDRI filter in isolating P-wave energy in a pixel on the pass plane. The best measure of this success is given by performing a cross-spectral matrix analysis of the two w-p planes on a pixel-by-pixel basis (summing over a window dw x dp). The ratio of the eigenvalues yields the rectilinearity of polarization. A 2-D gain function based on rectilinearity may be used as a non-linear boost function in order to enhance strongly polarized P-wave pixels in the w-p pass plane, prior to inverse RADON transformation.The success of this method in achieving wavefield skparation and background noise reduction is illustrated with synthetic and physical model seismic data.

In this paper, we present an analytical framework to analyse the error probability and the channel capacity of the inverse gamma (I-Gamma) shadowed fading channel. First, the work discusses the utility of the I-Gamma over log-normal (LN) and gamma fading models where the closeness of I-Gamma with other existing shadowing models is carried out. Utilising the probability density function (PDF) of the I-Gamma shadowed fading channel, various metrics of the communication system, namely, the average symbol error probability (SEP), the channel capacity under optimal rate adaptation (ORA), channel inversion with fixed rate (CIFR), and truncated CIFR (TIFR) are derived. Further, the work is extended to derive a novel selection combining (SC) PDF, and the analytical results for the SEP and the channel capacity of SC diversity are presented. Furthermore, we also provide simpler asymptotic expressions for the average SEP. In addition, the simplified high and low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) solutions to channel capacity are also provided. The derived mathematical formulations have been endorsed by comparing with Monte Carlo simulations.

S U M M A R Y 2-D scale models and synthetic seismograms have been used to study diffraction artifacts and interpretation pitfalls on seismic profiles over two classes of simpleshaped structures: a vertical fault model and a rectangular mound model.The fault throw was varied from one eighth of a wavelength (A/@ to two wavelengths (2A). For throws greater than A/2, the structure is resolved in the x-t domain but diffractions which are present convey misleading structure. Amplitude and wavelet anomalies are observed for small fault displacement (
