A. Lagg – <strong>Spectral</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong><br />

Solution: Wavelet Transformation<br />

time vs. frequency resolution is intrinsic problem (Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle)<br />

approach: analyze the signal at different frequencies with different resolutions<br />

­> multiresolution analysis (MRA)<br />

Continuous Wavelet Transform<br />

similar to STFT:<br />

signal is multiplied with a<br />

function (the wavelet)<br />

transform is calculated<br />

separately for different segments<br />

of the time domain<br />

but:<br />

the FT of the windowed signals are<br />

not taken<br />

(no negative frequencies)<br />

The width of the window is changed<br />

as the transform is computed for<br />

every single spectral component
