Although time-frequency peak filtering (TFPF) has been proven to be an effective method to suppress the random noise, it shows shortcomings when processing the oscillating high-frequency MRS signal at about 2 kHz. In this study, a new method combining empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and TFPF is proposed to overcome the TFPF limitation when processing the MRS oscillating signal. With the help of EMD decomposition characteristics, the random-noise-corrupted MRS oscillating signal is first decomposed into several different components which contain frequencies ranging from the highest to the lowest ones. Then, the components which do not have signal frequency are discarded to bring down the level of random noise. The residual components are further processed by TFPF, respectively, based on the theory of instantaneous frequency estimation and the property of noise accumulation. Finally, the de-noised result is obtained by reconstructing the processed components. The numerical simulations on synthetic signals embedded in both artificial noise and real noise show the combined method can improve the signal-to-noise ratios and reduce the uncertainties of signal parameters. In addition, the combined method is applied following a standard processing scheme in field data, and better results are also obtained.
