Polynomial chirplet transform (PCT) can effectively characterize the instantaneous frequency (IF) of mono-mode frequency-modulated (FM) signal, but it is unsuitable to analyze multimode signals. Here, we propose synchrosqueezing PCT (SPCT) for amplitude-modulated (AM) and FM signals with multimode, and apply it to tight sandstone gas reservoirs. First, a multikernel operator is constructed to concentrate the energy near the IF of each mode, and then an IF estimator is derived to further reassign the energy to the corresponding IF ridge. This not only achieves a highly energy-concentrated time-frequency representation, but also retains its invertibility. The synthetic signal is employed to validate the effectiveness of the SPCT. The application on field seismic data also demonstrates that the SPCT can effectively identify tight sandstone gas reservoirs.
