This paper expounds first on the advantages of Time-Frequency Analysis(TFA)technique in fine description of graded pattern of sedimentation. Then it specifies the optimization design of T-F filter with frequency recursion based on the practicability of T-F filter principles and performs T-F analysis of seismic responses generated by a theoretical cycle model of tectonic geology built through forward simulation method. It finally offers an evaluation of practical application through interpretation and comparison of the simulated and the real cyclicity.
