Abstract
An arrangement is shown for combining multisource randomly occurring data, such as seismic or sonar data, into a single output signal. Histories of simultaneously occurring data from each source are accumulated, and their power levels compared to determine which is likely to have significant data, as distinguished from noise. The largest of the data so compared in a given time epoch determines the source to be used in a succeeding epoch to provide the output contribution for that succeeding epoch.
