... Therefore, we see that some spectral resolution is achieved by selection of the wavelet size, and some temporal resolution follows from the location of the wavelet relative to the signal (Fig. ... Figure 6: Contour line representation of the wavelet transform for a near-continuum of durations. We can identify the individual peaks and troughs of the cosine wave as well as their frequency: this compromise between the temporal domain and the spectral domain is the hallmark of wavelet transforms. ...
