Disentangling of composite spectra is a promissing technique for the analysis of
double-lined spectroscopic binary systems. The technique makes use of a separation routine
to extract model-component spectra out of a time series of observed composite spectra.
Focusing on the differences between two possible approaches in the implementation of the
separation routine, we compare the resulting limitations. We perform test runs on
artificial data and conclude that separation in the wavelength domain is more versatile in
several aspects, while the computational efficiency of separation in the Fourier domain
allows working with larger data sets which is beneficial in a fully-blown disentangling
process.
