Butterworth band-pass filter has been applied to S-wave data recorded at 8 stations in China mainland, and S-wave splitting at different frequency bands is analyzed. The results show that the delay time and the fast polarization directions of S-wave splitting depend upon the frequency bands. There is an absence of S-wave splitting at the station of Urumqi (WMQ) for the band of 0.1-0.2 Hz. With the frequency band broadening, the delay time of S-wave splitting decreases at the stations of Beijing (BJI), Enshi (ENH), Kunming (KMI) and Mudanjiang (MDJ); the fast polarization direction changes from westward to eastward at Enshi (ENH), and from eastward to westward at Hailaer (HIA). The variations of delay time with bands at Lanzhou (LZH) and Qiongzhong (QIZ) are similar, and there is a coherent trend of fast polarization directions at BJI, KMI and MDJ, respectively. Initial interpretations to the results of frequency band-dependence of S-wave splitting are also presented.
