Abstract
It is shown how a modern extension of Fourier analysis known as wavelet analysis is applied to signals containing multiscale information. First, a continuous wavelet transform is used to analyse the spectrum of a nonstationary signal (one whose form changes in time). The spectral analysis of such a signal gives the strength of the signal in each frequency as a function of time. Next, the theory is specialized to discrete values of time and frequency, and the resulting discrete wavelet transform is shown to be useful for data compression. This paper is addressed to a broad community, from undergraduate to graduate students to general physicists and to specialists in other fields than wavelets.
