Abstract: Simultaneous sources are separated with a deblending method wherein the fullband data deblended on a source-by-source basis. The fullband data is first decomposed into multiple subbands, and then a non-equispaced subband Radon transform is used to transform the decomposed data into the Radon domain. The deblending process is solved subband by subband by minimising a nonlinear objective function. The solution of the nonlinear objective function is found using a multi-step procedure.
