Abstract
The study aims at finding a stable method for transformation of time-domain electromagnetic diffusion field to an electromagnetic wavefield. Two ways of transformation are considered: singular-value decomposition (SVD) and Tikhonov’s regularizations. Transformation is applied to TEM responses of a conductive half-space, a conductive S film, and to a series of horizontally layered models. The wave transforms are used to plot travel-time curves and to estimate the velocity of EM field propagation.
