Cone-shape distribution function
The cone-shape distribution function, also known as the Zhao–Atlas–Marks time-frequency distribution,[1] (acronymized as the ZAM [2][3][4] distribution[5] or ZAMD[1]), is one of the members of Cohen's class distribution function.[1][6] It was first proposed by Yunxin Zhao, Les E. Atlas, and Robert J. Marks II in 1990.[7] The distribution's name stems from the twin cone shape of the distribution's kernel function on the [math]\displaystyle{ t, \tau }[/math] plane.[8] The advantage of the cone kernel function is that it can completely remove the cross-term between two components having the same center frequency. Cross-term results from components with the same time center, however, cannot be completely removed by the cone-shaped kernel.[9][10]
Mathematical definition
The definition of the cone-shape distribution function is:
- [math]\displaystyle{ C_x(t, f)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}A_x(\eta,\tau)\Phi(\eta,\tau)\exp (j2\pi(\eta t-\tau f))\, d\eta\, d\tau, }[/math]
where
- [math]\displaystyle{ A_x(\eta,\tau)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}x(t+\tau /2)x^*(t-\tau /2)e^{-j2\pi t\eta}\, dt, }[/math]
and the kernel function is
- [math]\displaystyle{ \Phi \left(\eta,\tau \right) = \frac{\sin \left(\pi \eta \tau \right)}{ \pi \eta \tau }\exp \left(-2\pi \alpha \tau^2 \right). }[/math]
The kernel function in [math]\displaystyle{ t, \tau }[/math] domain is defined as:
- [math]\displaystyle{ \phi \left(t,\tau \right) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{\tau} \exp \left(-2\pi \alpha \tau^2 \right), & |\tau | \ge 2|t|, \\ 0, & \mbox{otherwise}. \end{cases} }[/math]
Following are the magnitude distribution of the kernel function in [math]\displaystyle{ t, \tau }[/math] domain.
Following are the magnitude distribution of the kernel function in [math]\displaystyle{ \eta, \tau }[/math] domain with different [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha }[/math] values.
As is seen in the figure above, a properly chosen kernel of cone-shape distribution function can filter out the interference on the [math]\displaystyle{ \tau }[/math] axis in the [math]\displaystyle{ \eta, \tau }[/math] domain, or the ambiguity domain. Therefore, unlike the Choi-Williams distribution function, the cone-shape distribution function can effectively reduce the cross-term results form two component with same center frequency. However, the cross-terms on the [math]\displaystyle{ \eta }[/math] axis are still preserved.
The cone-shape distribution function is in the MATLAB Time-Frequency Toolbox[11] and National Instruments' LabVIEW Tools for Time-Frequency, Time-Series, and Wavelet Analysis [12]
