Syntax

[minfreq,maxfreq] = cwtfreqbounds(N)
[minfreq,maxfreq] = cwtfreqbounds(N,Fs)
[maxperiod,minperiod] = cwtfreqbounds(N,Ts)
[___] = cwtfreqbounds(___,Name,Value)

Description

example

[minfreq,maxfreq] = cwtfreqbounds(N) returns the minimum and maximum wavelet bandpass frequencies in cycles/sample for a signal of length N. The minimum and maximum frequencies are determined for the default Morse (3,60) wavelet. The minimum frequency is determined so that two time standard deviations of the default wavelet span the N-point signal at the coarsest scale. The maximum frequency is such that the highest frequency wavelet bandpass filter drops to ½ of its peak magnitude at the Nyquist frequency.

[minfreq,maxfreq] = cwtfreqbounds(N,Fs) returns the bandpass frequencies in hertz for the sampling frequency Fs.

[maxperiod,minperiod] = cwtfreqbounds(N,Ts) returns the bandpass periods for the sampling period Ts. maxperiod and minperiod are scalar durations with the same format as Ts. If the number of standard deviations is set so that log2(maxperiod/minperiod) < 1/NV where NV is the number of voices per octave, maxperiod is adjusted to minperiod*2^(1/NV).

example

[___] = cwtfreqbounds(___,Name,Value) returns the minimum and maximum wavelet bandpass frequencies or periods with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.

Open Live Script

Obtain the minimum and maximum wavelet bandpass frequencies for a signal with 1000 samples using the default values.

[minfreq,maxfreq] = cwtfreqbounds(1000)
minfreq = 0.0033

maxfreq = 0.4341
Open Live Script

Obtain the minimum and maximum wavelet bandpass frequencies for the default Morse wavelet for a signal of length 10,000 and a sampling frequency of 1kHz. Set the cutoff to 100% so that the highest frequency wavelet bandpass filter peaks at the Nyquist.

sigLength = 10000;
Fs = 1e3;
[minfreq,maxfreq] = cwtfreqbounds(sigLength,Fs,'cutoff',100);

Construct the filter bank using the values returned by cwtfreqbounds. Plot the frequency response. Note that the highest frequency wavelet bandpass filter peaks at the Nyquist frequency of 500 Hz.

fb = cwtfilterbank('SignalLength',sigLength,'SamplingFrequency',Fs,'FrequencyLimits',[minfreq maxfreq]);
freqz(fb)

Create a second frequency bank identical to the first, but instead use the default frequency limits. Plot the frequency response. In the case of the Morse wavelet, the CWT filter bank uses a default cutoff of 50% at the Nyquist.

fb2 = cwtfilterbank('SignalLength',sigLength,'SamplingFrequency',Fs);

freqz(fb2)

Signal length, specified as a positive integer greater than or equal to 4.

Sampling frequency in hertz, specified as a positive scalar.

Data Types: double

Sampling period, specified as a positive scalar duration.

Data Types: duration

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: 'Wavelet',"amor",'CUTOFF',75

Analysis wavelet used to determine the minimum and maximum frequencies or periods, specified as 'Morse', 'amor', or 'bump'. These strings specify the analytic Morse, Morlet, and bump wavelet, respectively. The default wavelet is the analytic Morse (3,60) wavelet.

For Morse wavelets, you can also parametrize the wavelet using the TimeBandwidth or WaveletParameters name-value pairs.

Example: 'Wavelet','bump'

Percentage of the peak magnitude at the Nyquist, specified as a scalar between 0 and 100. Setting CUTOFF to 0 indicates that the wavelet frequency response decays to 0 at the Nyquist. Setting CUTOFF to 100 indicates that the value of the wavelet bandpass filters peaks at the Nyquist.

Data Types: double

Number of time standard deviations used to determine the minimum frequency (longest scale), specified as a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. For the Morse, analytic Morlet, and bump wavelets, four standard deviations generally ensures that the wavelet decays to zero at the ends of the signal support. Incrementing 'StandardDeviations' by multiples of 4, for example 4*M, ensures that M whole wavelets fit within the signal length. If unspecified, 'StandardDeviations' defaults to 2. If the number of standard deviations is set so that log2(minfreq/maxfreq) > -1/NV where NV is the number of voices per octave, minfreq is adjusted to maxfreq*2^(-1/NV).

Data Types: double

This property is read-only.

Time-bandwidth for Morse wavelets, specified as a positive scalar. This property is only valid when the Wavelet property is 'morse'. This property specifies the time-bandwidth parameter of the Morse wavelet with the symmetry parameter (gamma) fixed at 3. TimeBandwidth is a positive number strictly greater than 3 and less than or equal to 120. The larger the time-bandwidth parameter, the more spread out the wavelet is in time and narrower the wavelet is in frequency. The standard deviation of the Morse wavelet in time is approximately sqrt(TimeBandwidth/2). The standard deviation in frequency is approximately 1/2*sqrt(2/TimeBandwidth).

The TimeBandwidth and WaveletParameters properties cannot both be specified.

Example: 'TimeBandwidth',4

Data Types: double

This property is read-only.

Morse wavelet parameters, specified as a two-element vector. The first element is the symmetry parameter (gamma), which must be greater than or equal to 1. The second element is the time-bandwidth parameter, which must be strictly greater than gamma. The ratio of the time-bandwidth parameter to gamma cannot exceed 40. When gamma is equal to 3, the Morse wavelet is perfectly symmetric in the frequency domain. The skewness is equal to 0. Values of gamma greater than 3 result in positive skewness, while values of gamma less than 3 result in negative skewness. WaveletParameters is only valid if the Wavelet property is set to 'Morse'.

The WaveletParameters and TimeBandwidth properties cannot both be specified.

Example: 'WaveletParameters',[4,20]

Number of voices per octave to use in determining the necessary separation between the minimum and maximum scales, specified as an even integer between 4 and 48. The minimum and maximum scales are equivalent to the minimum and maximum frequencies or maximum and minimum periods respectively.

Example: 'VoicesPerOctave',20

Data Types: double
