Bilinear time–frequency distributionBilinear time–frequency distributions, or quadratic time–frequency distributions, arise in a sub-field of signal analysis and signal processing called time–frequency signal processing, and, in the statistical analysis of time series data. Such methods are used where one needs to deal with a situation where the frequency composition of a signal may be changing over time; this sub-field used to be called time–frequency signal analysis, and is now more often called time–frequency signal processing due to the progress in using these methods to a wide range of signal-processing problems.
Mécanique quantique dans l'espace des phasesLa formulation de la mécanique quantique dans l'espace des phases place les variables de position et d'impulsion sur un pied d'égalité dans l'espace des phases. En revanche, la représentation de Schrödinger utilise soit la représentation dans l'espace des positions, soit la représentation dans celui des impulsions (voir la page espace des positions et des impulsions).
Time–frequency analysisIn signal processing, time–frequency analysis comprises those techniques that study a signal in both the time and frequency domains simultaneously, using various time–frequency representations. Rather than viewing a 1-dimensional signal (a function, real or complex-valued, whose domain is the real line) and some transform (another function whose domain is the real line, obtained from the original via some transform), time–frequency analysis studies a two-dimensional signal – a function whose domain is the two-dimensional real plane, obtained from the signal via a time–frequency transform.
Time–frequency representationA time–frequency representation (TFR) is a view of a signal (taken to be a function of time) represented over both time and frequency. Time–frequency analysis means analysis into the time–frequency domain provided by a TFR. This is achieved by using a formulation often called "Time–Frequency Distribution", abbreviated as TFD. TFRs are often complex-valued fields over time and frequency, where the modulus of the field represents either amplitude or "energy density" (the concentration of the root mean square over time and frequency), and the argument of the field represents phase.
Fonction de Wignervignette| Fonction de Wigner d'un état du type du "chat de Schrödinger" (mélange de 2 états opposés) La fonction de Wigner (également appelée distribution de quasi-probabilité de Wigner) a été introduite par Eugene Wigner en 1932 pour étudier les corrections quantiques à la mécanique statistique classique. L'objectif était de lier la fonction d'onde qui apparaît dans l'équation de Schrödinger à une distribution de probabilité dans l'espace des phases.
