The synchrosqueezing generalized S-transform (SSGST) is commonly used to generate an isofrequency component of a signal by squeezing the decomposed frequency components of the signal. However, for seismic signals, the single-trace process can have a lack of lateral information in the squeezed results and lead to some discontinuous geologic information that will mislead the interpreter. Thus, to improve the stability of SSGST, we have developed a multichannel seismic trace squeezing method. Multichannel SSGST (MSSGST) considers the decomposed frequency components of neighboring traces of the analysis seismic trace and then reconstructs the center trace. Therefore, compared with SSGST, the multichannel processing improves the stability of the squeezing and produces more laterally continuous results that properly follow the geologic phenomenon. The effectiveness of MSSGST is validated using various field data. We use the application to demonstrate the potential of multichannel squeezing to perform well at (1) improving the energy focusing and continuity of the decomposed frequency components, (2) depicting the boundaries of geologic structures, and (3) identifying the thin layers.

Present radar signal emitter recognition approaches suffer from a dependency on prior information. Moreover, modern emitter recognition must meet the challenges associated with low probability of intercept technology and other obscuration methodologies based on complex signal modulation and must simultaneously provide a relatively strong ability for extracting weak signals under low SNR values. Therefore, the present article proposes an emitter recognition approach that combines ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) with the generalized S-transform (GST) for promoting enhanced recognition ability for radar signals with complex modulation under low signal-to-noise ratios in the absence of prior information. The results of Monte Carlo simulations conducted using various mixed signals with additive Gaussian white noise are reported. The results verify that EEMD suppresses the occurrence of mode mixing commonly observed using standard empirical mode decomposition. In addition, EEMD is shown to extract meaningful signal features even under low SNR values, which demonstrates its ability to suppress noise. Finally, EEMD-GST is demonstrated to provide an obviously better time-frequency focusing property than that of either the standard S-transform or the short-time Fourier transform.

Gears are the most important transmission modes used in mining machinery, and gear faults can cause serious damage and even accidents. In the work process, vibration signals are influenced not only by friction, nonlinear stiffness, and nonstationary loads, but also by strong noise. It is difficult to separate the useful information from the noise, which brings some trouble to the fault diagnosis of mining machinery gears. The generalized S transform has the advantages of the short time Fourier transform and wavelet transform and is reversible. The time–frequency energy distribution of the gear vibration signal can be accurately presented by the generalized S transform, and a time–frequency filter factor can be constructed to filter the vibration signal in the time–frequency domain. These characteristics play an important role when the generalized S transform is used to remove the noise in the time–frequency domain. In this paper, a new gear fault diagnosis based on the time–frequency domain de-noising is proposed that uses the generalized S transform. The application principle, method steps, and evaluation index of the method are presented, and a wavelet soft-threshold filtering method is implemented for comparison with the proposed approach. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by numerical simulation and experimental investigation of a gear with a tooth crack. Our analyses also indicate that the proposed method can be used for fault diagnosis of mining machinery gears.

The frequency-dependent width of the Gaussian window function used in the S-transform may not be ideal for all applications. In particular, in seismic reflection prospecting, the temporal resolution of the resulting S-transform time-frequency spectrum at low frequencies may not be sufficient for certain seismic interpretation purposes. A simple parameterization of the generalized S-transform overcomes the drawback of poor temporal resolution at low frequencies inherent in the S-transform, at the necessary expense of reduced frequency resolution. This is accomplished by replacing the frequency variable in the Gaussian window with a linear function containing two coefficients that control resolution variation with frequency. The linear coefficients can be directly calculated by selecting desired temporal resolution at two frequencies. The resulting transform conserves energy and is readily invertible by an inverse Fourier transform. This modification of the S-transform, when applied to synthetic and real seismic data, exhibits improved temporal resolution relative to the S-transform and improved resolution control as compared with other generalized S-transform window functions.

Complex geological characteristics and deepening of the mining depth are the difficulties of oil and gas exploration at this stage, so high-resolution processing of seismic data is needed to obtain more effective information. Starting from the time-frequency analysis method, we propose a time-frequency domain dynamic deconvolution based on the Synchrosqueezing generalized S transform (SSGST). Combined with spectrum simulation to estimate the wavelet amplitude spectrum, the dynamic convolution model is used to eliminate the influence of dynamic wavelet on seismic records, and the seismic signal with higher time-frequency resolution can be obtained. Through the verification of synthetic signals and actual signals, it is concluded that the time-frequency domain dynamic deconvolution based on the SSGST algorithm has a good effect in improving the resolution and vertical resolution of the thin layer of seismic data.
