nowadays, radar systems have many applications and radar imaging is one of the most important of these applications. inverse synthetic aperture radar (isar) is used to form an image from moving targets. conventional methods use fourier transform to retrieve doppler information. however, because of maneuvering of the target, the doppler spectrum becomes time-varying and the image is blurred. joi...

spectral decomposition is a powerful tool for analysis of seismic data. fourier transform determines the frequency contents of a signal. but for analysis of non-stationary signals, 1-d transform to frequency domain is not sufficient. in early years, transforming of seismic traces into time and frequency domain was done via windowed fourier transform, called a short time fourier transform (stft)...

This paper is concerned with a synthesis study of the fast Fourier transform (FFT), the short time Fourier transform (STFT and the Wigner distribution (WD) in analysing the phonocardiogram signal (PCG) or heart cardiac sounds.     The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) can provide a basic understanding of the frequency contents of the heart sounds. The STFT is obtained by calculating the Fourier tran...

Power Spectral Density (PSD) computed by taking the Fourier transform of auto-correlation functions (WienerKhintchine Theorem) gives better result, in case of noisy data, as compared to the Periodogram approach. However, the computational complexity of Wiener-Khintchine approach is more than that of the Periodogram approach. For the computation of short time Fourier transform (STFT), this probl...

Filter banks with fixed time-frequency resolution, such as the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), are a common tool for many audio analysis and processing applications allowing effective implementation via the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The fixed time-frequency resolution of the STFT can lead to the undesirable smearing of events in both time and frequency. In this paper, we suggest adapti...

A new estimator for evolutionary spectrum (ES) based on short time Fourier transform (STFT) and modified group delay function (MGDF) by signal decomposition (SD) is proposed. The STFT due to its built-in averaging, suppresses the cross terms and the MGDF preserves the frequency resolution of the rectangular window with the reduction in the Gibbs ripple. The present work overcomes the magnitude ...

In this paper, we present an algorithm to estimate a signal from its modified short-time Fourier transform (STFT). This algorithm is computationally simple and is obtained by minimizing the mean squared error between the STFT of the estimated signal and the modified STFT. Using this algorithm, we also develop an iterative algorithm to estimate a signal from its modified STFT magnitude. The iter...

Power Spectral Density (PSD) of quasi-stationary processes can be efficiently estimated using the short time Fourier series (STFT). In this paper, an algorithm has been proposed that computes the PSD of quasi-stationary process efficiently using offline autoregressive model order estimation algorithm, recursive parameter estimation technique and modified sliding window discrete Fourier Transfor...
