Two different procedures for effecting a frequency analysis of a time-dependent signal locally in time are studied. [] Key Method The similarities and the differences between these two methods are discussed. For both schemes a detailed study is made of the reconstruction method and its stability as a function of the chosen time-frequency density. Finally, the notion of time-frequency localization is made precise, within this framework, by two localization theorems. >

Localization measures in the time-scale setting

Wavelet (or continuous wavelet) transform is superior to the Fourier transform and the windowed (or short-time Fourier) transform because of its ability to measure the time–frequency variations in a…

Signal analysis and synthesis with 1-D quasi-continuous wavelet transform

A fast quasi-continuous algorithm for analysis is proposed that is valid for almost any generating analysis wavelet and has the peculiarity to give the same weight to each point of the time-scale plane as required for selective reconstructions of portions of this plane.

An Improved S-Transform for Time-Frequency Analysis

A modified Gaussian window is proposed which scales with the frequency in a efficient manner to provide improved energy concentration of the S-transform and can resolve the time-frequency localization in a better way than the standard S- transform.

Time-frequency localization in transforms, subbands, and wavelets: a critical review

The purpose is to review recent extensions of the classical "uncertainty" principle to the discrete-time case and to develop optimum wave forms and evaluate the trade-off between localization in time and in frequency for several proposed signal decomposition structures.

  • 1994
A new O(n) algorithm is described, which uses a non-orthogonal variant of the orthonormal Haar wavelet, to decompose signals into their approximate time-frequency space and shows that the algorithm, called the dominant scale transform (DST), can be used to track changing vowel formants with a very high spatial resolution.

It is shown that some of these orthonormal wavelets get close to the Heisenberg limit, which makes the corresponding wavelet transform particularly appropriate to signal analysis.

Fourier transform with the adaptive kernel function to analyze frequency modulation signal

This paper proposed a new time-frequency analysis method known as the Fourier Transform with the adaptive kernel (AK-FT), which can estimate the time- frequency parameters of non-linear frequency modulation signal analysis reliably and precisely.

It is shown that the difference of information between the approximation of a signal at the resolutions 2/sup j+1/ and 2/Sup j/ can be extracted by decomposing this signal on a wavelet orthonormal basis of L/sup 2/(R/sup n/), the vector space of measurable, square-integrable n-dimensional functions.
