A Frequency-Domain Method for Generation of Discrete-Time Analytic Signals

摘要

We consider a common frequency-domain procedure hilbert for generating discrete-time analytic signals and show how it fails for a specific class of signals. A new frequency-domain technique ehilbert is formulated that solves the defect. Moreover, the new technique is applicable to all discrete-time real signals of even length. It is implemented by the introduction of one additional zero of the continuous spectrum of the analytic signal hilbert at a negative frequency. Both frequency-domain methods generate equal length discrete-time analytic signals. The new analytic signal preserves the original signal (real part) and also the zeros of the discrete spectrum hilbert in the negative frequencies. The greater attenuation at the negative frequencies affects the degree of aliasing of the analytic signal. It is measured by applying the analytic signal to an orthogonal wavelet transform and determining the improved transform shiftability.
