Ground-penetrating radar time-frequency analysis method based on synchrosqueezing wavelet transformation

Abstract

Compared with conventional time-frequency analysis method, synchrosqueezing wavelet transformation (SST) exhibits high resolution capability and good application effect. In this study, SST is introduced to ground-penetrating radar (GPR) processing. This method is applied to analyze a continuous electromagnetic signal. SST can obtain a higher resolution and a better processing effect than conventional wavelet transform and short-time Fourier analysis. In the application of GPR forward analysis data, the transform can correctly distinguish different interfaces and objects. Its resolution increases as frequency increases. However, compression wavelet modulus gradually decays as frequency increases. The proposed method is applied to detect tunnel lining under actual conditions and in a strong noise background. Indeed, the method can efficiently identify interfaces and abnormalities
