How do you find instantaneous frequency?

A purely monochromatic signal x(t) = a cos(ωt + ϕ) has an amplitude a, an angular frequency ω and an initial phase ϕ. Its instantaneous phase ϕ(t) is ωt + ϕ, which is a linear function of time, and the frequency is the derivative of the phase.

How do you find instantaneous frequency in Matlab?

ifq = instfreq( x , fs ) estimates the instantaneous frequency of a signal, x , sampled at a rate fs . If x is a matrix, then the function estimates the instantaneous frequency independently for each column and returns the result in the corresponding column of ifq .

How do you find the instantaneous frequency of a chirp signal?

Find the instantaneous frequency of the signal by extracting the maximum-energy time-frequency ridge of the Fourier Synchrosqueezed transform. [sst,f,tfs] = fsst(x,fs); fridge = tfridge(sst,f); Overlay the ridge on the transform plot. Convert time to milliseconds and frequency to kHz.

What is the use of instantaneous frequency?

The concept of the instantaneous frequency is particularly important in the context of frequency noise and phase noise, but it is also applied to chirped optical pulses (Figure 1), which have a time-dependent instantaneous frequency. The basic idea is intuitive, actually more than that of Fourier frequencies.
