Python audio analysis: which spectrogram should I use and why?

I am doing my final project at university: pitch estimation from song recording using convolutional neural network (CNN). I want to retrieve pitches existed in a song recording. For CNN input, I am ...

Estimation of Amplitude, Frequency and Phase of Linear Combination of Harmonic Signal Beyond the Leakage Resolution of DFT

How can I find a rough ( as accurate as possible) Amplitude of each frequency when there is spectral leakage. Currently, I am dealing with a system that contains special leakage which seems ...

How to Map CWT to Synchrosqueezed wavelet transform?

I don't understand the mapping time-scale plane to the time-frequency plane in synchrosqueezed wavelet transform, i.e. $(3)$. You can find the paper here. For the given signal of $x(t)$ and mother ...

DFT coefficients meaning?

What "are" they? What's a sensible way to interpret the coefficients (and what isn't)? To pose specifics: DFT coefficients describe the frequencies present in a signal They describe the ...

Fourier transform of a damped cosine wave with a linear frequency chirp

I want to take the Fourier transform of the following transient signal, $$f(t) = e^{-t/\tau} \cos((\omega_0 + m t)t)$$, where $m$ is some gradient parameter in units of $\rm{Hz}/s$. I thought this ...

Spectrum of FM signal?

If a carrier ($f_c$) is FM modulated by a single sine wave ($f_m$), its spectrum is composed of frequencies at $f_c + kf_m$ ($k \in \mathbb{Z}$) whose amplitudes are weighted by $J_n(\beta)$, the $k$-...

How to decompose a signal into exponentally decaying sinusoids?

I have a system of coupled oscillators. One is a pendulum acting as a tuned mass damper and the other is a wooden structure. When I loosen the screw that allows the pendulum to oscillate I get a ...

Why does a synchrosqueezed wavelet transform show oscillating behavior?

This question came up in the context of the ssqueezepy library. As a basic experiment I did compute the synchrosqueezed wavelet transform of three basic signals: A ...
