Example 3

The last introductory example presented here is a transient signal embedded in a -5dB white gaussian noise. This transient signal is a constant frequency modulated by a one-sided exponential amplitude (see fig. 1.10):

     >> trans=amexpo1s(64).*fmconst(64);
     >> sig=[zeros(100,1) ; trans ; zeros(92,1)];
     >> sign=sigmerge(sig,noisecg(256),-5);
     >> plot(real(sign));
     >> dsp=fftshift(abs(fft(sign)).^2);
     >> plot((-128:127)/256,dsp);

From these representations, it is difficult to localize precisely the signal in the time-domain as well as in the frequency domain. Now let us have a look at the spectrogram of this signal calculated using the M-file tfrsp.m (see fig. 1.11):
     >> tfrsp(sign);

\begin{figure}
\epsfxsize =10cm\epsfysize =8cm
\centerline{\epsfbox{figure/in2fig11.eps}}\end{figure}
the transient signal appears distinctly around the normalized frequency 0.25, and between time points 125 and 160.
