6.2. BASIC IDEAS OF THE WAVELET TRANSFORM 48<br />

Figure 6.11: Step 4 <strong>of</strong> the continuous <strong>wavelet</strong> trans-<br />

form<br />

Figure 6.12: The continuous <strong>wavelet</strong> transform (Here:<br />

f=800/a, t=b)<br />

representations <strong>of</strong> a power signal. figure 6.12(a) displays the signal which contains 3rd<br />

harmonic component. The signal is transferred in<strong>to</strong> 32 scales through Morlet <strong>wavelet</strong>,<br />

where the relation between scale <strong>and</strong> frequency is: frequency = 800/scale. Figure<br />

6.12(b) displays the <strong>wavelet</strong> representation on the time-scale plane in 2D, where the<br />

dark degree is proportional <strong>to</strong> the absolute value <strong>of</strong> the <strong>wavelet</strong> coefficients. It can be<br />

seen that the <strong>wavelet</strong> transform locates the energy around scale 16 <strong>and</strong> 5.34 (i.e. 50 Hz<br />

<strong>and</strong> 150 Hz), which corresponds <strong>to</strong> the fundamental frequency <strong>and</strong> the 3rd harmonics<br />

in the signal, <strong>and</strong> shows the time information <strong>of</strong> the signal at the same time. Creating<br />

the <strong>wavelet</strong> coefficients at every possible scale leads <strong>to</strong> a large quantity <strong>of</strong> the calcula-<br />

tion because the continuous <strong>wavelet</strong> transform is great redundant. Because the basic<br />

calculation <strong>of</strong> the CWT is an inner product or a convolution, there are some faster algo-
