Traditionally,such analysis is carried out by spectrum analyzers which were banks of filters. We will see later in this lecture how a filter bank carries out this task.Next time we will incorporate the FFT into the filter bank implementation. The Time-Dependent Fourier Transform Also known as the short-time Fourier transform(STFT),the time-dependent Fourier transform (TDFT)of a signal x[n]is defined as xn,)=∑xn+miwimle-m, where wln]is a window sequence.As time progresses,the signal slides past the fixed window.

The Time-Dependent Fourier Transform Also known as the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), the time-dependent Fourier transform (TDFT) of a signal x[n] is defined as ∞ e X −jλm [n, λ) = � x[n + m]w[m] , m=−∞ where w[n] is a window sequence. As time progresses, the signal slides past the fixed window. Here we use λ as the frequency variable to distinguish from the conventional DTFT, and the mixed bracket-parenthesis notation X[n, λ) to notate that n is a discrete variable while λ is a continuous variable. As an illustration of how the window w[n] is positioned relative to the shifted signal, OSB Figure 10.11 shows a linear chirp signal with the window superimposed. The signal being shifted through time is x[n] = cos(ωon2), ωo = 2π × 7.5 × 10−6 . Its instantaneous frequency is 2ωon (hence the name ‘linear chirp’). w[n] used is a Hamming window of length 400. Over the finite duration of the window, the frequency content of the signal changes only slightly by 400ωo = 2π(0.003). We can see the linearity of the signal’s frequency content from OSB Figure 10.12, a STFT magnitude plot where the vertical axis represents continuous frequency λ and the horizontal axis represents discrete time n. Such a magnitude plot is referred to as a spectrogram. The Effect of the Window From the definition of STFT, we see that 1 X[n, λ) = DTFT{x[n + m]w[m] DTFT } = {x[n + m]} ∗ DTFT{w[m] 2π } For a fixed n, 1 � 2π X[n, λ) = ejθnX(ejθ)W(ej(λ−θ) )dθ . 2π 0 This is the convolution between the window W(ejω) and the shifted input sequence. The mainlobe width of W(ejω) determines how well the components of the signal frequency spectrum can be resolved and the sidelobe amplitude determines the amount of leakage from these components into their neighbors. Again, trade-offs exist when selecting a proper window for short-time Fourier analysis (STFA). OSB Table 7.1 in Section 7.2 quantitatively illustrates such trade-offs. 2
