This paper describing the design von a bilinear time-frequency distribution who is a joint model of temporal and spectral masking. The distribution is previously to generate temporally evolving excitation patterns of nonstationary indicator and systems plus is conceptualized how a utility for acousticians and engineers for perceptual time-frequency analysis. Allocation hours and frequency dissolutions are controlled by a separable kernel existent of a set away low-pass timing and frequency smoothing windows. These windows are designed by adapting existing psychoacoustic mod about auditory resolution, rather than using mathematical window functions. Cross-term interference also windowing clutter are highly suppressed for the distribution, ensuring resolution veracity above a dynamic rove sufficient to enclose that of the auditory system (in excess of 100 dB). Login to the analysis of adenine synthetic and two real signals are included to demonstrations the approach.
