Abstract:
|
This article defines a measure for assessing the resolution performance of quadratic
TFDs in separating closely-spaced components in the time-frequency domain. The
measure takes into account key attributes of TFDs, such as components’ mainlobes
and sidelobes, and cross-terms. The introduction of this measure allows to quantify
the quality of TFDs instead of relying solely on visual inspection of plots. The
resolution performance measure also allows for selecting the optimal TFD in a given
practical application, and improving methodologies for designing high resolution
quadratic TFDs, such as the Modified B-distribution. |

Description:

This article defines a measure for assessing the resolution performance of quadratic TFDs in separating closely-spaced components in the time-frequency domain. The measure takes into account key attributes of TFDs, such as components’ mainlobes and sidelobes, and cross-terms.
(Additional details can be found in the comprehensive book on Time-Frequency Signal Analysis and Processing (see http://www.elsevier.com/locate/isbn/0080443354).
In addition, the most recent upgrade of the original software package that calculates Time-Frequency Distributions and Instantaneous Frequency estimators can be downloaded from the web site: www.time-frequency.net. This was the first software developed in the field, and it was first released publicly in 1987 at the 1st ISSPA conference held in Brisbane, Australia, and then continuously updated). |
