Popis: Conventional methods for signal analysis utilise the Fourier Transform to estimate the spectral response of a signal. However this current practice suffers from poor frequency resolution when estimating non-stationary signals. This paper presents some alternative methods based on time-frequency distributions such as the Wigner Ville, the Choi Williams, the Bessel and the Born Jordan from a Cohen's class point of view. For each case, a continuous and discrete distribution is formulated, a criterion for determining the interaction between the spectral components of the signal is given and the simplified discretised expression for the calculation of the distribution is proposed that can produce a reduction of at least half of the computations realised when using the original time-frequency distribution definition. A general parallel architecture for the parallel computation of the distribution is also proposed.
