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:


Second example

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"}]

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
