| Abstract: | Magnetotelluric (MT) sounding is a crucial technique in mineral exploration. However, MT data are highly susceptible to various types of noise. Traditional data processing methods, which rely on the assumption of signal stationarity, often result in severe distortion when suppressing non-stationary noise. In this study, we propose a novel, adaptive, and less parameter-dependent signal decomposition method for MT signal denoising, based on time–frequency domain analysis and the application of modal decomposition. The method uses Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) to adaptively decompose the MT signal into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), obtaining the instantaneous time–frequency energy distribution of the signal. Subsequently, robust statistical methods are introduced to extract the independent components of each IMF, thereby identifying signal and noise components within the decomposition results. Synthetic data experiments show that our method accurately separates high-amplitude non-stationary interference. Furthermore, it maintains stable decomposition results under various parameter settings, exhibiting strong robustness and low parameter dependency. When applied to field MT data, the method effectively filters out non-stationary noise, leading to significant improvements in both apparent resistivity and phase curves, indicating its practical value in mineral exploration. |
