(3)The above expression has a real part of cosine of frequencyf, and an imaginary part of sine of frequencyf. So

4、 what we are actually doing is, multiplying the original signal with a complex expression which has sines and cosines of frequencyf. Then we integrate this product.Stationary of SignalStationary of SignalAt what time the frequency components occur? FT can not tell!FT only gives what frequency compon

6、RANSFORMDennis Gabor (1946) Used STFT (Gabor Transform)To analyze only a small section of the signal at a time a technique called Windowing the Signal.The segment of signal is assumed Stationary x(t)is the signal itself,(t)is the window function, and*is the complex conjugate.STFTSHORT TERM FOURIER T

7、RANSFORMThe STFT of the signal is nothing but the FT of the signal multiplied by a window function.In the FT, the window is its kernel, theexpjwtfunction, which lasts at all times from minus infinity to plus infinity. Now, in STFT, the window is of finite length, thus it covers only a portion of the

9、ined by the size of the window.Once you choose a particular size for the time window - it will be the same for all frequencies.Many signals require a more flexible approach - so we can vary the window size to determine more accurately either time or frequency. - Wavelet TransformSTFTSHORT TERM FOURI

15、ipleOne cannot know the exact time-frequency representation of a signal (instance of time);What one can know are the time intervals in which certain band of frequencies exist;This is a resolution problem, which has something to do with thewidthof the window function that is used.

16、enberg Uncertainty PrincipleThe resolutions in FTIn the FT there is no resolution problem in the frequency domain, i.e., we know exactly what frequencies exist; similarly there is no time resolution problem in the time domain, since we know the value of the signal at every instant of time. Conversel

17、y, the time resolution in the FT, and the frequency resolution in the time domain are zero, since we have no information about them.

18、mation. in order to obtain the stationarity, we have to have a short enough window, in which the signal is stationary. The narrower we make the window, the better the time resolution, and better the assumption of stationarity, but poorer the frequency resolutionUncertaintyThe Heisenberg Uncertainty PrincipleNarrow window =good time resolution, poor frequency resolution.Wide window =good frequency resolution, poor time resolution.UncertaintyThe Heisenberg Uncertainty Princi
