Time-frequency analysis (TFA) technique is an effective approach to capture the changing dynamic in a nonstationary signal. However, the commonly adopted TFA techniques are inadequate in dealing with signals having a strong nonstationary characteristic or multicomponent signals having close frequency components. To overcome this shortcoming, a new TFA technique applying a polynomial chirplet transform (PCT) in association with a synchroextracting transform (SET) is proposed in this paper. It is shown that the energy concentration of the time-frequency representation (TFR) of a strong frequency-modulated signal from a PCT transform can be further enhanced by an SET transform. The technique can also be employed to accurately extract the signal components of a multicomponent nonstationary signal with close frequency components by adopting an iterative process. It is found that the TFR calculated …
