Continuous wavelet transforms

Therefore, we see that some spectral resolution is achieved by selection of the wavelet size, and some temporal resolution follows from the location of the wavelet relative to the signal (Fig. 6).

We can identify the individual peaks and troughs of the cosine wave as well as their frequency: this compromise between the temporal domain and the spectral domain is the hallmark of wavelet transforms. The cost of this compromise is the need to map the signal as a function of both time and duration.

Analytically:


The normalization factor is introduced for later convenience. In the case of our cosine function, cos(at) in general, the transform can be calculated exactly, and is

from which we can see the basic cosine echoing the original signal, the power-law showing a steep decrease in magnitude toward larger 's (short durations) and the exponential drop-off toward small 's (long durations)

Of course, the time () and duration () axis are discretized in actual data processing. The result, a wavelet map, is shown on Fig. 6.
