Time-frequency distributions

Time-frequency distributions are tools used to analyze signals that change over time, like speech or music. Unlike regular graphs that show only how something varies over time or frequency alone, these distributions display both aspects simultaneously. Think of it as a detailed map revealing what frequencies are present at specific moments, helping us understand complex signals better. They are widely used in areas such as audio processing, radar, and medical imaging to gain deeper insights into the dynamic characteristics of signals.
