Synchrosqueezing Transform

The synchrosqueezing transform is a time-frequency reassignment technique that sharpens the output of the continuous wavelet transform by concentrating energy along instantaneous frequency ridges. Introduced by Ingrid Daubechies and colleagues in 2011, it addresses the fundamental limitation of the standard wavelet transform: poor frequency localization. This method is particularly valuable for analyzing signals with time-varying frequency content.
