4. Instrumental Response The problem arisen in the recording of a physical phenomena is well illustrated below. The instrument used to perform this record distorts the original true-signal x(t) given the output signal y(t). For this reason, a further process called deconvolution must be performed to recover the input signal x(t). Unfortunately, the input signal x(t) is never recovered completely. Thus, the signal recovered by the decondition filter is not exactly equal to x(t). Nevertheless, if the deconvolution process is well done, the recovered signal can be used instead of the original signal x(t), with a small error.
