Frequency averaging: an useful multiwindow spectral analysis approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The multiwindow approach is a meaningful framework for nonparametric spectral estimation. It also encompasses several conventional methods as WOSA and frequency-averaged periodogram. Recently, some authors claimed that the Slepian windows of the Thomson’s method and other related optimal sets of windows show a better performance in terms of resolution, variance and leakage. In this paper, that claim is discussed by means of some simulation examples and by applying the various methods to speech recognition. In conclusion, frequency averaging of the periodogram is a computationally simple method that has a great flexibility for band specification and comparatively shows good performance. In fact, it is the spectral analysis technique most extensively employed for speech recognition.

On frequency averaging for spectral analysis in speech recognition
Many speech recognition systems use logarithmic filter-bank energies or a linear transformation of them to represent the speech signal. Usually, each of those energies is routinely computed as a weighted average of the periodogram samples that lie in the corresponding frequency band. In this work, we attempt to gain an insight into the statistical properties of the frequency-averaged periodogra...
متن کاملMultiwindow S-method for Instantaneous Frequency Estimation and its Application in Radar Signal Analysis
A new distribution that provides high concentration in the time-frequency domain is proposed. It is based on the S-method and multiwindow approach, where different order Hermite functions are employed as multiple windows. The resulting distribution will be referred to as the multiwindow S-method. It preserves favorable properties of the standard S-method while the distribution concentration is ...
متن کاملMultiwindow Gabor-type Representations and Signal Representation by Partial Information
Harmonic analysis has been the longest lasting and most powerful tool for dealing with signals and systems which involve both periodic and transient phenomena. Further impact on signal processing was facilitated by what we refer to as representations in combined spaces. These representations, motivated by Gabor’s concept of time-frequency information, cells have evolved in recent years into a r...
متن کاملTimeWindows for Linear Prediction of Speech
This report examines the time windows used for linear prediction (LP) analysis of speech. The goal of windowing is to create frames of data each of which will be used to calculate an autocorrelation sequence. Several factors enter into the choice of window. The time and spectral properties of Hamming and Hann windows are examined. We also consider windows based on Discrete Prolate Spherical Seq...
متن کاملLarge Amplitude Vibration Analysis of Graphene Sheets as Resonant Mass Sensors Using Mixed Pseudo-Spectral and Integral Quadrature Methods
The present paper investigates the potential application of graphene sheets with attached nanoparticles as resonant sensors by introducing a nonlocal shear deformation plate model. To take into account an elastic connection between the nanoplate and the attached nanoparticle, the nanoparticle is considered as a mass-spring system. Then, a combination of pseudo-spectral and integral quadrature m...
