Iterative Scheme and Local Maximum Property Based Reassigned Range used in Synchrosqueezing Transforms
摘要
The synchrosqueezing transform (SST) provides a sharp time–frequency (TF) representation for signals with slowly varying instantaneous frequencies (IFs). However, its performance deteriorates significantly in the presence of noise and fast IF variations, which violate the underlying assumptions of the SST. To address this limitation, this paper proposes reassigned range (RR) based SST designed to achieve noise-robust and high-resolution TF analysis. The core of the method is a reassigned range (RR) criterion, constructed through two key innovations: an iterative scheme that refines the IF estimation by progressively reducing errors induced by fast frequency modulation, and the exploitation of the local maximum property of IFs in TF plane to enhance discrimination between signal components and noise. Based on the RR, an adaptive threshold is derived to separate signal energy from noise, leading to effective noise suppression. Consequently, proposed method simultaneously improves the readability of the TF representation and attenuates noise interference. Evaluations on both synthetic non-stationary signals and real-world data demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method compared to existing techniques.
