An approximate solution is presented to the seismic inverse problem for two‐dimensional (2-D) velocity variations. The solution is given as a multiple integral over the reflection data observed at the upper surface. An acoustic model is used, and the reflections are assumed to be sufficiently weak to allow a “linearization” procedure in the otherwise nonlinear inverse problem. Synthetic examples are presented demonstrating the accuracy of the method with dipping planes at angles up to 45 degrees and with velocity variations up to 20 percent. The method was also tested under automatic gain control, in which case velocity estimates were lost but the method nonetheless successfully migrated the data.

Considerable and continuing interest has been shown in the thin film transducer fabrication for surface acoustic waves (SAW) in the past few years. Due to the high degree of miniaturization, compatibility with silicon integrated circuit technology, simplicity and ease of design, this new technology has played an important role in the design of new devices for communications and signal processing. Among the commonly used piezoelectric thin films, ZnO generally yields superior electromechanical properties and is expected to play a leading role in the development of SAW devices.
