Spectrogram Analysis using Python

by

Keywords: Spectrogram, signal processing, time-frequency analysis, speech recognition, music analysis, frequency domain, time domain, python Introduction A spectrogram is a visual representation of the frequency content of a signal over time. Spectrograms are widely used in signal processing applications to analyze and visualize time-varying signals, such as speech and audio signals. In this article, we … Read more

Statistical measures for stochastic signals

by

Key focus: Discuss statistical measures for stochastic signals : mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, histogram, scatterplot, cross-correlation and auto-correlation. Deterministic and stochastic signals A deterministic signal is exactly predictable for the given time span of interest. It could be expressed using analytic form (example: x(t) = sin (2 π fc t) ). Many of the signals … Read more

Design FIR filter to reject unwanted frequencies

by

Let’s see how to design a simple digital FIR filter to reject unwanted frequencies in an incoming signal. As a per-requisite, I urge you to read through this post: Introduction to digital filter design Background on transfer function The transfer function of a system provides the underlying support for ascertaining vital system response characteristics without … Read more

Plot audio file as time series using Scipy python

by

Often the most basic step in signal processing of audio files, one would like to visualize an audio sample file as time-series data. Audio sounds can be thought of as an one-dimensional vector that stores numerical values corresponding to each sample. The time-series plot is a two dimensional plot of those sample values as a … Read more
