Time-frequency and chirps
نویسنده
چکیده
Chirps (i.e., transient AM-FM waveforms) are ubiquitous in nature and man-made systems, and they may serve as a paradigm for many nonstationary deterministic signals. The time-frequency plane is a natural representation space for chirps, and we will here review a number of questions related to chirps, as addressed from a time-frequency perspective. Global and local approaches will be described for matching and/or adapting representations to chirps. As a corollary, joint time-frequency descriptions of chirps will be shown to allow for e ective de nitions of \instantaneous frequencies" via localized trajectories on the plane. A number of applications will be mentioned, ranging from bioacoustics to turbulence and gravitational waves.

A Categorization of Mexican Free-Tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensis) Chirps ýýýýý
Male Mexican Free-tailed Bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) attract mates and defend territory using multi-phrase songs that have a structured set of rules. A subjective view of their spectrograms shows similarity and dissimilarity between the chirps (a syllable within the song) of different males. We developed a rigorous algorithm to characterize the shapes of these chirps. The discrete Fourier tran...
متن کاملOn the Time–Frequency Detection of Chirps
The question of detecting a chirp in the time–frequency plane is addressed. Strategies based on line integration are discussed with respect to optimality and adequacy of a representation to a given chirp. Linear and power-law chirps are considered in some detail and a possible application of affine distributions to the detection of gravitational waves is proposed, together with an effective imp...

Lower Mekong Basin (LMB) experiences a recurrent drought phenomenon. However, few studies have focused on drought monitoring in this region due to lack of ground observations. The newly released Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) with a long-term record and high resolution has a great potential for drought monitoring. Based on the assessment of CHIRPS for ca...
متن کاملStimulus frequency differentially affects chirping in two species of weakly electric fish: implications for the evolution of signal structure and function.
During social interactions, apteronotid electric fish modulate their electric organ discharges (EODs) to produce transient communication signals known as chirps. Chirps vary widely across species and sex in both number and structure. In Apteronotus leptorhynchus, males chirp far more than females and their chirps have greater frequency modulation than those of females. High-frequency chirps are...
متن کاملStructure and sexual dimorphism of the electrocommunication signals of the weakly electric fish, Adontosternarchus devenanzii.
Electrocommunication signals of electric fish vary across species, sexes and individuals. The diversity of these signals and the relative simplicity of the neural circuits controlling them make them a model well-suited for studying the mechanisms, evolution and sexual differentiation of behavior. In most wave-type gymnotiform knifefishes, electric organ discharge (EOD) frequency and EOD modulat...
