What does the squared magnitude of the STFT represent?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. The spectrogram of the signal
Explanation
The squared magnitude of the STFT is the spectrogram, a time-frequency energy representation. Instantaneous phase and the Z-transform do not correspond to this quantity.
Review the concept: Short-time Fourier transform
The short-time Fourier transform (STFT, \( X(\tau,\omega) \)) describes how the frequency content of a signal varies over time using a sliding window.
\[X(\tau,\omega)=\sum_{n} x[n]\,w[n-\tau]\,e^{-j\omega n}\]
