Some features of time-frequency representations of multicomponent signals
Abstract
The Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD) is now known to be a convenient tool for the time-frequency analysis of non-stationary signals, and especially monocomponent ones. However, in the case of multicomponent signals, its bilinear structure is also known to create cross-terms without any physical significance. Starting with the general formulation of time-frequency representations, which only depend on an arbitrary kernel function, we first characterize properties of such cross-terms and then propose appropriate smoothings of the WVD in order to reduce their influence. Such suitable and versatile approximations are compared on synthetic and natural signals and an extension to time-frequency filtering is proposed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
