A virtual instrument for time-frequency analysis

A virtual instrument for time-frequency analysis is presented. Its realization is based on an order recursive approach to the time-frequency signal analysis. Starting from the short time Fourier transform and using the S-method, a distribution having the auto-terms concentrated as high as in the Wigner distribution, without cross-terms, may be obtained. The same relation is used in a recursive manner to produce higher order time-frequency representations without cross-terms. Thus, the introduction of this new virtual instrument for time-frequency analysis may be of help to the scientists and practitioners in signal analysis. Application of the instrument is demonstrated on several simulated and real data examples.
