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

The Scale<br />

similar to scales used in maps:<br />

high scale = non detailed global view (of the signal)<br />

low scale = detailed view<br />

in practical applications:<br />

low scales (= high frequencies)<br />

appear usually as short bursts or<br />

spikes<br />

high scales (= low frequencies) last<br />

for entire signal<br />

scaling dilates (stretches out) or<br />

compresses a signal:<br />

s > 1 ­> dilation<br />

s < 1 ­> compression
