Wavelet analysis uses two types of functions, the scaling and wavelet functions.
Introduction to wavelets michael phipps vallary bhopatkar. As a matter of fact, the wavelet series is simply a sampled version of the cwt, and the information it provides is highly redundant as far as the reconstruction of the signal is concerned. So a 50 hz signal from a light bulb will have a matching frequency at about 950. The wavelet transform is a relatively new concept about 10 years old, but yet there are quite a few. Frequently asked questions on wavelets naoki saito department of mathematics university of california davis, ca 95616 usa email.
