Momentary frequency
Description
"Momentary frequency" belongs to the group of adaptive estimators and
computes the momentary frequency of the input signal x by counting
zero-crossings.
Parameters are:
- Adaptation time tm for the mean estimator
- Adaptation time tf for the frequency estimator
Both parameters are in x-axis units.
Tips
The parameters for the adaptation times of the estimators determine the adaptation speed and the robustness of the estimation procedure. Lower values result in higher adaptation speeds but then the estimated quantity varies around the true value with high variance. Higher values result in lower adaptation speeds, but then the quantity to be estimated converges more smoothly to the true value in the case of stationary signals. For a momentary frequency analysis of narrow-band signals a time derivation of the Instantaneous phase usually yields better results due to its time resolution.
