Wang, Q., Yang, X.H., Tang, B., Liu, N.H. and Gao, J.H., 2023. Application of multi- synchrosqueezed genaralized S-transform in seismic time-frequency analysis. Journal of Seismic Exploration, 32: 39-49 Time-frequency (TF) analysis is an important tool in seismic data processing that describes the frequency response of subsurface rocks and reservoirs. In this paper, we propose a new TF method to characterize the time-varying feature of seismic signals, the proposed method is based on a generalized S-transform and employs a multi- synchrosqueezing algorithm. The technique provides a highly energy-concentrated TF representation using a novel local estimation of instantaneous frequency. Synthetic and field data examples show that the proposed method has a superior performance in depicting strong time-varying signals and can be used to identify subtle stratigraphy with high resolution.
