- 3 minute(s) read
Computes the single-sided complex cepstrum of a univariate time series. This VI keeps the phase information of the input time series. You can reconstruct the original time series with the computed phase information and complex cepstrum. Wire data to the Xt input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

Inputs/Outputs
![]() Xt specifies the univariate time series. ![]() error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality. ![]() cepstrum returns the cepstrum information about Xt.
![]() phase info returns the phase information of Xt.
![]() error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
TSA Complex Cepstrum Details
This VI computes the single-sided complex cepstrum C(t) of a univariate time series according to the following equation:
C(t) = FFT-1{ln[FFT(Xt)]}
where Xt is the univariate time series and FFT(Xt) is a complex array. FFT(Xt) = P(f)ejf(f).
In order to make the definition unique, this VI unwraps f(f) and removes the linear phase, so the computed cepstrum does not contain the phase information of the original time series. This VI saves the phase values of f(f) at frequency zero and frequency p into phase info. You can reconstruct the original time series using the phase values and the complex cepstrum.
