High-Resolution Seismic Time–Frequency Analysis Using the Synchrosqueezing Generalized S-Transform

In this letter, a new method is introduced for a seismic time–frequency (TF) analysis. The proposed method is called synchrosqueezing generalized S-transform (SSGST), which belongs to a postprocessing procedure of the GST. The frequency-dependent Gaussian window used in the standard S-transform may be not suitable for real applications. In order to overcome this limitation, the frequency-dependent Gaussian window is replaced by a parameterized function containing three parameters. These three parameters result in flexibility in the variation of TF resolution. Then, the synchrosqueezing transform is employed to squeeze the TF coefficients of the GST to achieve an energy-concentrated TF representation. Synthetic examples and field data show that the SSGST achieves a high resolution and has the potential in highlighting geological structures with high precision.
