Definition of The Continuous Wavelet Transform CWT The continuous-time wavelet transform (CWT) of f(x) with respect to a wavelet  (x): L 2 (R)

Fourier-transformation of a square wave f(x) square wave (T=2) N=2 N=10 N=1

Fourier transformation

CWT - Time and frequency localization Time Frequency Small a: CWT resolve events closely spaced in time. Large a: CWT resolve events closely spaced in frequency. CWT provides better frequency resolution in the lower end of the frequency spectrum. Wavelet a natural tool in the analysis of signals in which rapidly varying high-frequency components are superimposed on slowly varying low-frequency components (seismic signals, music compositions, pictures…).
