2. Wavelet
   The wavelet allows a rapidly changing time history (e.g. door slam noise) to be investigated in the frequency domain. The Fourier transform decomposes a signal using a set of sine waves as the basis functions. The Wavelet transform decomposes a signal using a set of wavelets, these are concentrated ...

5. wavelet
   A wavelet is a function which (a) maps from the real line to the real line, (b) has an average value of zero, (c) has values very near zero except over a bounded domain, and (d) is used for the purpose, analogous to Fourier analysis, implied by the following paragraphs. Unlike sine waves, wavelets t...

7. Wavelet
   These functions are often incorrectly referred to as the basis functions of the (continuous) transform. In fact, as in the continuous Fourier transform, there is no basis in the continuous wavelet transform. Time-frequency interpretation uses a subtly different formulation (after Delprat). ==Compar...

8. wavelet
   (mathematics) A waveform that is bounded in both frequency and duration. Wavelet tranforms provide an alternative to more traditional Fourier transforms used for analysing waveforms, e.g. sound. The Fourier transform converts a signal into a continuous series of sine waves, each of which is of cons...
