bilinear_tf

This crate implements Cohen's class of time-frequency distributions in Rust. It allows computation of the time-frequency distribution of a signal with a chosen kernel function applied in the ambiguity domain.

Overview

Cohen's class distributions provide a general framework for time-frequency analysis of signals. They are defined in terms of a bilinear transformation of the signal's ambiguity function, allowing for flexible and adaptive time-frequency representations.

Features

• Compute the ambiguity function of a signal.
• Apply a kernel function to the ambiguity function.
• Transform the modified ambiguity function back to the time-frequency domain.
• Use different kernel functions (e.g., Wigner, Choi-Williams, Rihaczek, and Zhao-Atlas-Marks).

Changelog

• 0.2.1 - Added document.
• 0.2.0 - Used rayon for multithreading.
• 0.1.0 - 0.1.1 - Initial release.
