The S-transform is one of the most widely used methods of time-frequency analysis. It combines the respective advantages of the short-time Fourier transform and wavelet transforms with scale-dependent resolution using Gaussian windows, scaled inversely with frequency. One of the problems with the traditional symmetric Gaussian window is the degradation of time resolution in the time-frequency spectrum due to the long front taper. We have studied the performance of an improved S-transform with an asymmetric bi-Gaussian window. The asymmetric bi-Gaussian window can obtain an increased time resolution in the front direction. The increased time resolution can make event picking high resolution, which will facilitate an improved time-frequency characterization for oil and gas trap prediction. We have applied the slightly modified bi-Gaussian S-transform to a synthetic trace, a 2D seismic section, and a 3D seismic cube to indicate the superior performance of the bi-Gaussian S-transform in analyzing nonstationary signal components, hydrocarbon reservoir predictions, and paleochannels delineations with an obviously higher resolution.

Abstract In noise and vibration analysis, as well as in many other engineering applications, it may be necessary to extract or analyze signals with time-varying frequency components. Examples include start-up and shut-down of rotating machinery, transient structural vibrations, vehicle passing noise, and speech analysis. Both Short-Time Fourier Transforms (STFT), representing a set of non-causal filters of constant bandwidth, and Wavelet Transforms, representing a set of non-causal filters of constant Q or constant percent bandwidth, have been used for such Joint Time Frequency Analysis (JTFA). In the present work, an arbitrary swept frequency signal is approximated locally, in time, by a linearized frequency sweep. We show that an optimal time window can be identified which, at a given frequency, is inversely proportional to the square root of the instantaneous rate of change of frequency. We find that the constant bandwidth of the STFT and the constant-Q of the Wavelet transform represent extreme cases which are each optimal for certain types of signals. In between the two extremes there lies a continuous range of variation of the effective bandwidth with frequency. Many important types of signals require analysis window variation in this range between STFT and Wavelet analysis. The paper concludes with some simple rules for optimizing the variation of the analysis window with frequency for various types of signals.

Time-frequency analysis and wavelet transforms are employed to investigate transient contact dynamics at the head/disk interface of computer hard drives. Wavelet transforms are used to resolve multiple short consecutive contacts at high time resolution at high frequencies. The reassignment method is applied to the time-frequency distribution to enhance the time-frequency resolution, thereby allowing to resolve air-bearing and slider body frequencies simultaneously. The results indicate that strong impacts between slider and disk can lead to excitations of slider body and suspension vibrations. Finite element modal analysis of nano and pico glide sliders is found to be in good agreement with experimentally measured frequencies.
