Dopplerlet based time-frequency representation via matching pursuits

A new time-frequency representation called Dopplerlet transform, which uses the dilated, translated and modulated windowed Doppler signals as its basis functions, is proposed, and the Fourier transform, short-time Fourier transform (including Gabor transform), wavelet transform, and chirplet transform are formulated in one framework of Dopplerlet transform accordingly. It is proved that the matching pursuits based on Dopplerlet basis functions are convergent, and that the energy of residual signals yielded in the decomposition process decays exponentially. Simulation results show that the matching pursuits with Dopplerlet basis functions can characterize compactly a nonstationary signal.     

The adaptive chirplet transform and visual evoked potentials

We propose a new approach based upon the adaptive chirplet transform (ACT) to characterize the time-dependent behavior of the visual evoked potential (VEP) from its initial transient portion (tVEP) to the steady-state portion (ssVEP). This approach employs a matching pursuit (MP) algorithm to estimate the chirplets and then a maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) algorithm to refine the results. The ACT decomposes signals into Gaussian chirplet basis functions with four adjustable parameters, i.e., time-spread, chirp rate, time-center and frequency-center. In this paper, we show how these four parameters can be used to distinguish between the transient and the steady-state phase of the response. We also show that as few as three chirplets are required to represent a VEP response. Compared to decomposition with Gabor logons, a more compact representation can be achieved by using Gaussian chirplets. Finally, we argue that the adaptive chirplet spectrogram gives a superior visualization of VEP signals' time-frequency structures when compared to the conventional spectrogram.     

Wigner-based formulation of the chirplet transform

Using the Wigner distribution, we derive and analyze a matrix formulation for the chirplet transform, a signal analysis tool that generalizes the wavelet and short-time Fourier transforms. The formulation expresses the translations, scalings, and shears of the chirplet transform in terms of affine matrix transformations on the time-frequency plane. Our approach leads naturally to several new signal transforms, which we derive, analyze, and extend

A fast refinement for adaptive Gaussian chirplet decomposition

The chirp function is one of the most fundamental functions in nature. Many natural events, for example, most signals encountered in seismology and the signals in radar systems, can be modeled as the superposition of short-lived chirp functions. Hence, the chirp-based signal representation, such as the Gaussian chirplet decomposition, has been an active research area in the field of signal processing. A main challenge of the Gaussian chirplet decomposition is that Gaussian chirplets do not form an orthogonal basis. A promising solution is to employ adaptive type signal decomposition schemes, such as the matching pursuit. The general underlying theory of the matching pursuit method has been well accepted, but the numerical implementation, in terms of computational speed and accuracy, of the adaptive Gaussian chirplet decomposition remains an open research topic. We present a fast refinement algorithm to search for optimal Gaussian chirplets. With a coarse dictionary, the resulting adaptive Gaussian chirplet decomposition is not only fast but is also more accurate than other known adaptive schemes. The effectiveness of the algorithm introduced is demonstrated by numerical simulations

Fractional Fourier transform of the Gaussian and fractional domain signal support

The fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) provides an important extension to conventional Fourier theory for the analysis and synthesis of linear chirp signals. It is a parameterised transform which can be used to provide extremely compact representations. The representation is maximally compressed when the transform parameter, /spl alpha/, is matched to the chirp rate of the input signal. Existing proofs are extended to demonstrate that the fractional Fourier transform of the Gaussian function also has Gaussian support. Furthermore, expressions are developed which allow calculation of the spread of the signal representation for a Gaussian windowed linear chirp signal in any fractional domain. Both continuous and discrete cases are considered. The fractional domains exhibiting minimum and maximum support for a given signal define the limit on joint time-frequency resolution available under the FrFT. This is equated with a restatement of the uncertainty principle for linear chirp signals and the fractional Fourier domains. The calculated values for the fractional domain support are tested empirically through comparison with the discrete transform output for a synthetic signal with known parameters. It is shown that the same expressions are appropriate for predicting the support of the ordinary Fourier transform of a Gaussian windowed linear chirp signal.

A four-parameter atomic decomposition of chirplets

A new four-parameter atomic decomposition of chirplets is developed for compact and precise representation of signals with chirp components. The four-parameter chirplet atom is obtained from the unit Gaussian function by successive applications of scaling, fractional Fourier transform (FRFT), and time-shift and frequency-shift operators. The application of the FRFT operator results in a rotation of the Wigner distribution of the Gaussian in the time-frequency plane by a specified angle. The decomposition is realized by using the matching pursuit algorithm. For this purpose, the four-parameter space is discretized to obtain a small but complete subset in the Hilbert space. A time-frequency distribution (TFD) is developed for clear and readable visualization of the signal components. It is observed that the chirplet decomposition and the related TFD provide more compact and precise representation of signal inner structures compared with the commonly used time-frequency representations     

On Nonuniform Windowing M-ary FSK Data in a DFT-Based Detector

Nonuniform amplitude windowingM-ary frequency shiftkeying (FSK) data prior to demodulation reduces the crosstalk normally caused by Doppler and oscillator drift. A major disadvantage of such nonuniform windowing is the loss in signal detectability as a result of the mismatch between the nonuniform windowed signal and the uniform windowed detectors. This paper is concerned with the tradeoff of nonuniform windowing to combat frequency offset degradation and signal detectability losses caused by the use of such windows in a DFT (discrete Fourier transform)-based detector of noncoherentM-ary FSK. What is shown here is that if a frequency control system can maintain frequency to within a certain deviation (which depends on error rate and nonuniform window), nonuniform windowing is not warranted; on the other hand, if the frequency deviation becomes too large, nonuniform windowing is advised. A technique is developed that will determine this crossover deviation.     

A translation- and scale-invariant adaptive wavelet transform

This paper presents a new approach to deal with the translation- and scale-invariant problem of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Using a signal-dependent filter, whose impulse response is calculated by the first two moments of the original signal and a scale function of an orthonormal wavelet, we adaptively renormalized a signal. The renormalized signal is then decomposed by using the algorithm of the conventional DWT. The final wavelet transform coefficients, called adaptive wavelet invariant moments (AWIM), are proved to be both translation- and scale-invariant. Furthermore, as an application, we define a new textural feature in the framework of our adaptive wavelet decomposition, show its stability to shift and scaling, and demonstrate its efficiency for the task of scale-invariant texture identification.     

A tutorial on wavelets from an electrical engineering perspective.2. The continuous case

The wavelet transform is described from the perspective of a Fourier transform. The relationships among the Fourier transform, the Gabor (1946) transform (windowed Fourier transform), and the wavelet transform are described. The differences are also outlined, to bring out the characteristics of the wavelet transform. The limitations of the wavelets in localizing responses in various domains are also delineated. Finally, an adaptive window is presented that may be optimally tailored to suit one's needs, and hence, possibly, the scaling functions and the wavelets
