A comprehensive presentation of successful applications in joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA) covering both linear and bilinear algorithms and reflecting the recent progress and expansion of JTFA applicability in relation to PC technology. The key elements discussed include short-time Fourier transform and Gabor expansion, wavelets, Wigner-Ville distribution, and adaptive representation and adaptive spectrogram, as well as three JTFA applications in the areas of radar image processing, biomedical signal analysis, and economy data analysis. Two IBM PC or compatible disks containing a limited version of the JTFA are included with the text. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
