Abstract: Based on the joint inversion method of Lg spectral ratio and station site response, 78 ML≥2.8 seismic events recorded by seismic network in Inner Mongolia and neighboring provinces during 2016—2020 were selected to carry out seismic wave attenuation and site response analysis in central and western of Inner Mongolia. The results showed that the three-component decay parameters were respectively: QUD(f)=372·f0.54, QEW(f)=287·f0.59, QNS(f)=382·f0.43. By analyzing the response of 34 stations, we found that EKH, BYT and HYS stations had obvious amplification in 1~7 Hz research frequency band, while BHS, XLT and RLT stations had obvious amplification in 1~3 Hz low frequency band, which might be related to the complex geological structure where the stations were located.
