	abstract = {the design and evaluation of structures has made necessary the use of simulation procedures to generate synthetic catalogues. One of the most accepted simulation methods has been the empirical Green’s function method as it considers both the randomness of the problem and the physics of the source and the propagation path. In the application of this method, the Fourier transform of the acceleration spectrum of a signal originated at a source is described using a single corner frequency. However, recent studies have shown that the observed source acceleration spectrum is better fitted by an empirical source spectrum characterized by two corner frequencies, fa and fb. This paper is based on the original formulation of the empirical Green’s function method of the second author which improves the probability density function of the rupture time delays of the N cell in which the source of the simulated signal is divided. The scheme summation obeys the ω2 scaling law at all frequencies approximating the extended area of the source by a point source, whose rupture duration is in accordance with its size. Considering that one limitation of the application of the empirical Green’s function method in the simulation of signals to be used in the development of displacement based seismic design technology is the scarcity of records with good definition in the short frequency range, in this paper an approximation to generate a small earthquake with this characteristic using a record of the same earthquake obtained from another site which has a better definition in the short frequencies range is suggested.
