Area of Science:

  • Acoustics and Signal Processing.

Background:

  • Accurate analysis of sinusoidal components (tones) in signals is crucial for understanding various sound phenomena.
  • Existing methods may struggle with noisy, nonstationary signals, or closely spaced tones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present procedures for accurately determining the amplitude, phase, and frequency of tones in signals.
  • To provide criteria for designing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) blocks for multitone analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing optimum data windows for signal analysis.
  • Developing and applying criteria for multitone FFT block design.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated accurate determination of tone amplitude, phase, and frequency.
  • Showcased applicability to noisy signals, signals with moderate nonstationarity, and closely spaced tones.

Conclusions:

  • The presented data windowing procedures offer robust tone analysis capabilities.
  • These methods are relevant for quasistationary sounds in acoustics, including animal vocalizations, speech, music, and atmospheric sound transmission.
