Abstract
A system and method for discontinuous spectrum emission in seismic exploration is disclosed. The method may include determining a minimum frequency to be emitted by a seismic source in a frequency spectrum. The method may further include selecting a maximum frequency to be emitted by the seismic source in the frequency spectrum. The method may include identifying a portion of the spectrum between the minimum frequency and the maximum frequency where a reduced signal will be emitted by the seismic source. The method may finally include emitting, by the seismic source, a seismic signal according to the frequency spectrum and the identified portion of the frequency spectrum with the reduced signal.
