plotting - How to increase Spectrogram resolution?


I have a time-domain signal that I want do a time-frequency analysis on it. When I tried the Spectrogram, I always get very low resolution.



For example:


I have a signal like this:


data = Table[
   Piecewise[{{Sin[2 \[Pi] 10 t], 0 <= t < 1/4}, {Sin[2 \[Pi] 25 t], 
      1/4 <= t < 1/2}, {Sin[2 \[Pi] 50 t], 
      1/2 <= t < 3/4}, {Sin[2 \[Pi] 100 t], 3/4 <= t <= 1}}], {t, 0, 
    1, 1/1023}];
ListLinePlot[data, AspectRatio -> 0.2]

enter image description here



when I do a wavelet transform, I get a result that I can identify each frequency and their arrival time.


cwd = ContinuousWaveletTransform[data, GaborWavelet[6], {Automatic, 12}];
freq = (1023/(#*GaborWavelet[6]["FourierFactor"])) & /@ (Thread[{Range[8], 1}] /. cwd["Scales"]);
ticks = Transpose[{Range[Length[freq]], freq}];
WaveletScalogram[cwd, Frame -> True, FrameTicks -> {{ticks, Automatic}, Automatic},FrameLabel -> {"Time", "Frequency(Hz)"}, ColorFunction -> "RustTones"]

enter image description here


The wavelet transform is very good for me except I prefer a linear scale instead of a log scale. So I tried the Spectrogram.


Spectrogram[data, SampleRate -> 1023, ColorFunction -> "RustTones", FrameLabel -> {"Time", "Frequency(Hz)"}]


enter image description here


From the spectrogram I can barely see that there are four frequencies components, but the resolution is very low compared to the wavelet transform, and there seems be a lot of "noise" in it. So how can I use Spectrogram to plot a similar result as that of wavelet transform, a result that I can easily see the difference frequencies and their occurrence in time?


Edit:

Answer



The Spectrogram function also allows you to alter the window length, overlap and apply a windowing function to your data segment before FFT. You'll get better results if you utilize those (which requires some knowledge of DSP and your specific problem) instead of using the default parameters and the rectangle window.


For instance, the following shows the frequencies distinctly:


Spectrogram[data, 128, 64, BlackmanWindow, SampleRate -> 1023, 
    FrameLabel -> {"Frequency(Hz)", "Time"}]

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
