Some properties

  • The STFT preserves frequency shifts and time shifts up to a modulation:

    \begin{eqnarray*}
y(t) = x(t)\ e^{j2\pi \nu_0 t} &\ \Rightarrow\ & F_y(t,\nu;h)=...
...\Rightarrow\ & F_y(t,\nu;h)=F_x(t-t_0,\nu;h)\ e^{j2\pi t_0 \nu}
\end{eqnarray*}


  • Generalizing what has been said previously, the signal $x(t)$ can be reconstructed from its STFT with a synthesis window $g(t)$ different from the analysis window $h(t)$:

    \begin{displaymath}x(t)=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} F_x(u,\xi;h)\
g(t-u)\ e^{j2\pi t \xi}\ du\ d\xi\end{displaymath}

    providing that the windows $g$ and $h$ validate the constraint

    \begin{displaymath}\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} g(t)\ h^*(t)\ dt =1.\end{displaymath}
