Two methods to deconvolve experimental data from the distortions introduced by instrumental devices or source effects are presented. Considering a total acquistion system (emissionreception line, amplifier, pre-amplifier) as a global experimental filter, we can define its properties (module and phase) experimentally from the generation of a family of source signals dilated in time. The estimation of this filter allows the deconvolution of the recorded output signal. The first approach is based on the simple reconstruction formula of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT). The second method is based on the construction of a normalized family of a finite number of specific filters, independent of the frequency range used. In both cases, experimental results in an acoustic tank are presented. We show that after deconvolution, the source signal is correctly reconstructed from the recorded output signal and the global instrumental filter.
