A Proposed Warped Choi Williams Time Frequency Distribution Applied to Doppler Blood Flow Measurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the main goals in ultrasonic Doppler blood flow measurement is the estimation of the mean velocity. The Doppler signal’s instantaneous frequency has traditionally been used to estimate the mean velocity. In this work, a non-uniform discrete time frequency distribution is proposed: the warped discrete Choi Williams distribution (WTFDCW). The proposed procedure estimates the instantaneous frequency by concentrating the frequency resolution around the Doppler signal’s instantaneous frequency. As a result, a better precision is obtained in the spectral estimation by using a WTFDCW for noisy signals when compared to other methods such as the Discrete Choi Williams Time Frequency Distribution (DTFDCW) with the instantaneous frequency calculated as the centroid of the spectrum.

Nonstationary ultrasound Doppler signals, those are changing with time and frequency simultaneously, are widely observed in biological and speech signals. A Cohen’s class timefrequency (TF) analysis can analyze nonstationary signals with high resolution in time and frequency at a same time. A time-frequency distribution (TFD) is largely affected by a kernel function. Thus, there is sometimes a ...
