The Story of WaveletsTheory and Engineering Applications • Time frequency representation • Instantaneous frequency and group delay • Short time Fourier transform –Analysis • Short time Fourier transform – Synthesis • Discrete time STFT
Time – Frequency Representation • Why do we need it? • Time info difficult to interpret in frequency domain • Frequency info difficult to interpret in time domain • Perfect time info in time domain , perfect freq. info in freq. domain …Why? • How to handle non-stationary signals • Instantaneous frequency • Group Delay
Instantaneous Frequency & Group Delay • Instantaneous frequency: defined as the rate of change in phase • A dual quantity group delay defined as the rate of change in phase spectrum Frequency as a function of time Time as a function of frequency What is wrong with these quantities???

The Short Time Fourier Transform • Take FT of segmented consecutive pieces of a signal. • Each FT then provides the spectral content of that time segment only • Spectral content for different time intervals • Time-frequency representation Time parameter Signal to be analyzed FT Kernel (basis function) Frequency parameter STFT of signal x(t): Computed for each window centered at t= (localized spectrum) Windowing function (Analysis window) Windowing function centered at t=
Properties of STFT • Linear • Complex valued • Time invariant • Time shift • Frequency shift • Many other properties of the FT also apply.
Alternate Representation of STFT STFT : The inverse FT of the windowed spectrum, with a phase factor
Filter Interpretation of STFT X(t) is passed through a bandpass filter with a center frequency of Note that (f) itself is a lowpass filter.

Resolution Issues All signal attributes located within the local window interval around “t” will appear at “t” in the STFT Amplitude time n k Frequency
Time-Frequency Resolution • Closely related to the choice of analysis window • Narrow window good time resolution • Wide window (narrow band) good frequency resolution • Two extreme cases: • (T)=(t) excellent time resolution, no frequency resolution • (T)=1 excellent freq. resolution (FT), no time info!!! • How to choose the window length? • Window length defines the time and frequency resolutions • Heisenberg’s inequality • Cannot have arbitrarily good time and frequency resolutions. One must trade one for the other. Their product is bounded from below.

Time Frequency Signal Expansion and STFT Synthesis Basis functions Coefficients (weights) Synthesis window Synthesized signal • Each (2D) point on the STFT plane shows how strongly a time • frequency point (t,f) contributes to the signal. • Typically, analysis and synthesis windows are chosen to be identical.
