What is the difference between Fourier transform and short time Fourier transform?
The purpose is to provide the information regarding the fluctuation of the frequency contents over time. FFT is an algorithm for computing a FFT which is the digital version of STFT. Fourier tranform presents the frequency components of a signal but it is not localized.
What is the application of short time Fourier transform STFT )?
The Short-time Fourier transform (STFT), is a Fourier-related transform used to determine the sinusoidal frequency and phase content of local sections of a signal as it changes over time.
What’s the difference between wavelets and a Fourier transform?
While understanding difference between wavelets and Fourier transform I came across this point in Wikipedia. The main difference is that wavelets are localized in both time and frequency whereas the standard Fourier transform is only localized in frequency.
Why is the window function used in the Fourier transform?
Insertion of the window function into the formula for the Fourier transform gives us a chance to explore signal in short-time area — the window function is defined at compact with fixed width of the support and product of the window function and the signal cuts a small part of the signal.
The wavelet transform take advantage of the intermediate cases of the Uncertainty Principle. Each wavelet measurement (the wavelet transform corresponding to a fixed parameter) tells you something about the temporal extent of the signal, as well as something about the frequency spectrum of the signal.
Which is the wavelet transform of pure signal?
STFT of model ‘pure’ signal detects two harmonics with frequencies equal ˘0.09 arbitrary unit (a.u.) and ˘0.245 a.u. The wavelet transform and its cross-sections are shown in Fig. 4(a–c). Dashed lines in Fig. 4a show positions of the cross sections.
