Generalized spectrogram

From Quire, the open reference·Generalized application of spectrograms·1 min read

A generalized spectrogram, also called "two-window spectrogram", is a generalized application of spectrograms. In order to view a signal (taken to be a function of time) represented over both time and frequency axes, a time–frequency representation is used. Spectrograms are one of the most popular time-frequency representations.

Definition#edit

The definition of the spectrogram relies on the Gabor transform (also called short-time Fourier transform, for short STFT), whose idea is to localize a signal f in time by multiplying it with translations of a window function ${\displaystyle w(t)}$ .

The definition of spectrogram is

${\displaystyle S{P_{x,w(t,f)={G_{x,w(t,f)G_{_{x,w^{*}(t,f)=|{G_{x,w(t,f)|^{2$ ,

where ${\displaystyle {G_{x,{w_{1$ denotes the Gabor Transform of ${\displaystyle x(t)}$ .

Based on the spectrogram, the generalized spectrogram is defined as:

${\displaystyle S{P_{x,{w_{1,{w_{2(t,f)={G_{x,{w_{1(t,f)G_{_{x,{w_{2^{*}(t,f)}$ ,

where:

${\displaystyle {G_{x,{w_{1\left({t,f}\right)=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }w_{1\left({t-\tau }\right)x\left(\tau \right)\,{e^{-j2\pi \,f\,\tau d\tau$

${\displaystyle {G_{x,{w_{2\left({t,f}\right)=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }w_{2\left({t-\tau }\right)x\left(\tau \right)\,{e^{-j2\pi \,f\,\tau d\tau$

For ${\displaystyle w_{1}(t)=w_{2}(t)=w(t)}$ , it reduces to the classical spectrogram:

${\displaystyle S{P_{x,w(t,f)={G_{x,w(t,f)G_{_{x,w^{*}(t,f)=|{G_{x,w(t,f)|^{2$

The feature of Generalized spectrogram is that the window sizes of ${\displaystyle w_{1}(t)}$ and ${\displaystyle w_{2}(t)}$ are different. Since the time-frequency resolution will be affected by the window size, if one choose a wide ${\displaystyle w_{1}(t)}$ and a narrow ${\displaystyle w_{1}(t)}$ (or the opposite), the resolutions of them will be high in different part of spectrogram. After the multiplication of these two Gabor transform, the resolutions of both time and frequency axis will be enhanced.

Properties#edit

Relation with Wigner Distribution: ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {SP_{w_{1},w_{2(t,f)(x,w)=Wig(w_{1}',w_{2}')*Wig(t,f)(x,w),}$; where ${\displaystyle w_{1}'(s):=w_{1}(-s),w_{2}'(s):=w_{2}(-s)}$
Time marginal condition: The generalized spectrogram ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {SP_{w_{1},w_{2(t,f)(x,w)}$ satisfies the time marginal condition if and only if ${\displaystyle w_{1}w_{2}'=\delta }$ ,; where ${\displaystyle \delta }$ denotes the Dirac delta function
Frequency marginal condition: The generalized spectrogram ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {SP_{w_{1},w_{2(t,f)(x,w)}$ satisfies the frequency marginal condition if and only if ${\displaystyle w_{1}w_{2}'=\delta }$ ,; where ${\displaystyle \delta }$ denotes the Dirac delta function
Conservation of energy: The generalized spectrogram ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {SP_{w_{1},w_{2(t,f)(x,w)}$ satisfies the conservation of energy if and only if ${\displaystyle (w_{1},w_{2})=1}$ .
Reality analysis: The generalized spectrogram ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {SP_{w_{1},w_{2(t,f)(x,w)}$ is real if and only if ${\displaystyle w_{1}=Cw_{2$ for some ${\displaystyle C\in \mathbb {R} }$ .
