In this paper we propose a new type of non-negative time-frequency distribution associated with mono-components in both the non-periodic and periodic cases, called transient time-frequency distribution (TTFD), and study its properties. The TTFD of a mono-component signal can be obtained directly through its analytic instantaneous frequency. The characteristic property of TTFD is its complete concentration along the analytic instantaneous frequency graph. For multi-components there are induced time-frequency distributions called composing transient time-frequency distribution (CTTFD). Each CTTFD is defined as the superposition of the TTFDs of the composing intrinsic mono-components in a suitable mono-components decomposition of the targeted multi-component. In studying the properties of TTFD and CTTFD the relations between the Fourier frequency and analytic instantaneous frequency are examined.
