Waveform Spectral Analysis to Determining the CTBTO'S Seismic Stations Noise Characteristics in Indonesia

摘要

All we analysed recording waveform of six seismograph stations which is part of CTBTO's seismic network in Indonesia. The analysis using the spectral analysis method conducted to determine the characteristics response of each seismographic station. We analysed background noise level of sites using Power Spectral Density (PSD) and Probability of Density Function (PDF). The result of spectral analysis indicates that PSI station (Parapat, Sumatera) has the lowest background noise level, so it has highest Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). This station has best recording of nuclear explosion and earthquake event compare to recording of other station. This good quality of recording signal because the seismometer located on the representative bedrock and the site good protected from the ambient or environmental noise. Otherwise, LEM station (Lembang, Bandung) has the highest background noise level and has lowest SNR. LEM station located near the Tangkuban Perahu Mountain that one of active volcano in Bandung. Activity of the volcano may create disturbance noise to the recording signal in Lembang station (LEM). The significance noise also may because of human activity around this site.
