I have a signal of the form $f(\omega,x) = g(\omega) e^{i \omega (x +c)},$ for $g: [\omega_1 , \omega_2] \rightarrow C, \, x\in R$ and some constant $c.$ I want to get the function $$ F (\omega,x) = \mathcal{H} ( \Re \{f(\cdot,x)\}) (\omega), $$ where $\mathcal{H}$ denotes the Hilbert transform with respect to frequency $\omega,$ and $\Re$ the real part. I need the function $F$ to be again symbolic on $x$ such that I can differentiate it later.

I am trying to implement it in Matlab using:

L = 1e-2; K = 100; c = 1;
omega = (1/L)*(-K:K-1);

g = exp(-omega.^2/4);

syms x; f(x) = real(g.*exp(1i*omega*(x+c)));

but then the hilbert build-in function is not working. Do you have any idea how to do it?

The real part, the Hilbert transform and the derivation are all operators that commute. So you can move the derivative just close to the function.

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks for your comment, but I think this does answer my question. The derivative is with respect to x and the Hilbert with respect to omega. My question is if the hilbert transform can be applied to f, that is symbolic at x, and result to a symbolic function at x. $\endgroup$
