Computes the bicoherence of a univariate time series. The bicoherence is the normalized value of the bispectrum. Wire data to the Xt input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

Inputs/Outputs

  • cdbl.png sampling rate —

    sampling rate specifies the sampling rate, in hertz, of the univariate time series Xt. The default is 1.

  • cbool.png initialize? (F) —

    initialize? specifies whether the input block of data is the first block. The default is FALSE, which means the input block of data is not the first block.

  • ci32.png frequency bins —

    frequency bins specifies the number of frequency bins for which this VI computes the bicoherence. The resulting bicoherence S(f,f) is a square 2D array with the size (frequency bins/2+1). The default is -1, which means this VI calculates an appropriate value for the frequency bins. Refer to the Details section of the TSA Bispectrum VI for information about how this VI calculates the frequency bins value.

  • c1ddbl.png Xt —

    Xt specifies the univariate time series.

  • cnclst.png window info —

    window info specifies the information of the sliding window that divides the time series into subsequences.

  • cu16.png window —

    window specifies the time-domain window applied to the time series. Options include None (default), Hanning, Hamming, Blackman-Harris, Exact Blackman, Blackman, Flat Top, 4 Term B-Harris, 7 Term B-Harris, and Low Sidelobe.

  • ci32.png length —

    length specifies the length of the window. A large window generates a power spectral density (PSD) with small bias but results in a coarse PSD plot. A small window generates a smooth PSD plot but leads to large bias. The default is -1, which indicates that the window length equals the length of the input time series.

  • cdbl.png overlap (%) —

    overlap specifies the overlap, in percentage, of the moving window that this VI applies to the time series. This parameter determines how much data this VI reuses for the signal space matrix. A large overlap reduces the variance of the resulting power spectrum but increases computation time. The default is 50, which specifies that the overlap is half of the window length.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • cbool.png dB on? (T) —

    dB on? specifies whether this VI returns the S(f,f) in decibels or in a linear scale. If dB on? is TRUE, this VI returns the S(f,f) in decibels. If dB on? is FALSE, this VI returns the S(f,f) in a linear scale. The default is TRUE.

  • i2ddbl.png S(f,f) —

    S(f,f) returns the bicoherence S(f1, f2).

  • i1ddbl.png freq bins —

    freq bins returns the frequency bins at which this VI estimates the bicoherence.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
