Hilbert-Spectrum in Matlab

Started by joanna March 23, 2011
I have yet another question. With the EMD I get a few intrinsic Modes. The
intrinsic Mode I get first have the highest frequencies and so on. Does
that also mean that the instanteanous frequencies at a specific time for
exampe t(1) are descending?

I try to illustrate it better:

I recieve 4 intrinsic modes from a signal s(t) and I define the
instanteanous frequency f for all the modes. 
When I pick now a special time for example t(1) should the frequencies from
IMF1 to IMF4 at this point descend? And when they dont do it what have I
done wrong?

I hope somebody understands me.

Best regards
Joanna

The purpose of intrinsic modes in EMD is to separate different time scales in original signal in order to get well-behaved instantaneous frequency for each mode. You might not be doing it right Test your program on some synthetic example, e.g. Rossler equation BTW, why ask here on comp.dsp ? You already know more about the subject than most regulars in this group, especially VLV :-) Kind regards
