Abstract

Current bilinear time-frequency representations apply a fixed kernel to smooth the Wigner distribution. However, the choice of a fixed kernel limits the class of signals that can be analyzed effectively. This paper presents optimality criteria for the design of signal-dependent kernels that suppress cross-components while passing as much auto-component energy as possible, irrespective of the form of the signal. A fast algorithm for the optimal kernel solution makes the procedure competitive computationally with fixed kernel methods. Examples demonstrate the superior performance of the optimal kernel for a frequency modulated signal.
