hilbertspec function

Hilbert Transform and Instantaneous Frequency

This function calculates the amplitude and instantaneous frequency using Hilbert transform.

hilbertspec(xt, tt=NULL, central=FALSE)

Arguments

• xt: matrix of multiple signals. Each column represents a signal.
• tt: observation index or time index
• central: If central=TRUE, use central difference method to calculate the instantaneous frequency

Details

This function calculates the amplitude and instantaneous frequency using Hilbert transform.

Returns

• amplitude: matrix of amplitudes for multiple signals xt

• instantfreq: matrix of instantaneous frequencies for multiple signals xt

• energy: cumulative energy of multiple signals

Examples

tt <- seq(0, 0.1, length = 2001)[1:2000]           
f1 <- 1776; f2 <- 1000
xt <- sin(2*pi*f1*tt) * (tt <= 0.033 | tt >= 0.067) + sin(2*pi*f2*tt)
 
### Before treating intermittence
interm1 <- emd(xt, tt, boundary="wave", max.imf=2, plot.imf=FALSE)  
### After treating intermittence
interm2 <- emd(xt, tt, boundary="wave", max.imf=2, plot.imf=FALSE, 
interm=0.0007)

par(mfrow=c(2,1), mar=c(2,2,2,1))
test1 <- hilbertspec(interm1$imf)
spectrogram(test1$amplitude[,1], test1$instantfreq[,1])

test2 <- hilbertspec(interm2$imf, tt=tt)
spectrogram(test2$amplitude[,1], test2$instantfreq[,1])
