Abstract

There is a growing need for methods of quickly estimating the changing frequency content of a nonstationary signal. In this paper we describe a method for doing spectral analysis in real time on a small general-purpose digital computer, and discuss some of the theoretical and practical problems of developing similar systems for other computers.
