Notes:
A forward solution for the reflection response of a parallel stratified lossless medium characterized by discrete reflection coefficients and unequal layer delays, for a normally incident pressure source signal, is presented. The notation, which details the reflection history of each wavelet in a response record, facilitates systematic enumeration of all terms in the reflection impulse response model, the determination of compact closed form expressions for amplitudes and delays of multiply reflected wavelets, and the aggregation of dynamic analog groups. An equal delay time constraint on layer thicknesses leads then to the reflection sequence or synthetic seismogram structure as an infinite sum of wavelets by their order of reflection.
