SUMMARYUntil now, blended source arrays are configured with closely spaced source units, such as broadband airgun arrays (marine) and broadband vibrator arrays (land). In the latter case the source units are equal. We refer to this concept as homogeneous blending. In this paper the blending concept is extended to inhomogeneous blending, meaning that a blended source array consists of different source units that may be far apart. We propose for these units simple narrowband sources with different central frequencies.
