The transformed basis vectors are shown to be better suited than the original basis vectors for use in conventional wavelet-based denoising algorithms which use the minimum description length (MDL) or thresholding approaches. A computational example is presented which demonstrates the advantages of the new algorithm. Autoregressive (AR) models provide a useful tool for adapting the MDL algorithm to the reduction of correlated noise. A straightforward adaptation involves fitting an AR model to the noise component, building an FIR prediction-error filter from the AR model, and using the filter to whiten the noise component.","PeriodicalId":415923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Third International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (TFTS-96)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131351027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assuming a polynomial model of log-envelope of an AM-FM signal, the paper first considers the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation and Cramer-Rao bounds for instantaneous bandwidth (IB). Then two simpler algorithms for IB estimation are proposed: the log-envelope difference algorithm and the LS method.","PeriodicalId":415923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Third International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (TFTS-96)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131491127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to efficiently compute long signal time-frequency representations, we propose fast algorithms using a recursive approach. First, we introduce a recursive algorithm dedicated to the spectrogram computation. We show that rectangular, half-sine, Hamming, Hanning and Blackman functions can be used as running \"short-time\" windows. Then the previous algorithm is extended to specific CTFDs. We show that the windows mentioned above can also be used to compute recursively smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distributions. Finally, we show that the constraints on candidate windows are not very restrictive: any function (assumed periodic) can be used in practice as long as it admits a \"short enough\" Fourier series decomposition.","PeriodicalId":415923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Third International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (TFTS-96)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129735097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Frequency modulation codes the signal as the instantaneous frequency of the transmitted waveform, so FM demodulation corresponds to the problem of instantaneous frequency (IF) estimation. Time-frequency methods have been shown to provide better IF estimates at low-SNR, which makes them attractive for FM demodulation in low-SNR scenarios. However, fading is a common problem in mobile wireless communications. We demonstrate here that a high-performance IF estimation method based on an adaptive short-time Fourier transform works well under fading conditions and offers much better performance than traditional methods such as a phase lock loop (PLL). While more expensive than PLLs, basic versions of this approach should be implementable in real time on a single DSP microprocessor.","PeriodicalId":415923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Third International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (TFTS-96)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114503825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This prevents wavelets from many applications where shift-invariance is required. For a given set of filter coefficients and cost function, all of the existing methods solve the problem by finding the path in the decomposition tree that minimizes shift-variance with respect to a given cost function. This procedure is signal dependent and is inefficient, especially for long data sets and images, since the subband decomposition has to be performed for all shifts of input signal during the processing time. In this paper, we establish a framework for a shift-invariant filter bank by connecting the relation between the polyphase representation and shift-invariant property of filter banks. Theory, analysis, and design are presented, and comparison to the existing systems is discussed.
