How to visualize time frequency information of time series signal using continuous wavelet transform

2 views (last 30 days)
I have time series signal named X with variable Sg. I want to visualize it’s time frequency information by using continuous wavelet transform with the following input parameters:
samplingperiod=0.25;
scale = 24;
Fs = 4;
t = 0:1/Fs:(numel(Sg)-1)/Fs;
t = 0:1/Fs:(numel(Sg)-1)/Fs;
wavelet name = ‘db2’
I have tried the following script and got the following output (time scale information)
clear
load('X.mat')
samplingperiod=0.25;
scale = 24;
Fs = 4;
t = 0:1/Fs:(numel(Sg)-1)/Fs;
ax = newplot;
c = cwt(Sg,scale,'db2','plot');
colormap('jet(227)')
axis tight;
cb = colorbar(ax);
However what I need is a time- frequency information with a frequency range of 0 up to 2 Hz and time in second (4800/4 =1200 second) like the following figure
Thank you for contribution in advance

hello
I used this FEX submission as I don't have the Wavelet Toolbox
Your code adapted is as follows. Note you can "zoom" the dB scale to better see the small signals rendering - here I choosed 40 dB of max scale.
clear
load('X.mat')
Fs = 4;
t = (0:numel(Sg)-1)/Fs;
ax = newplot;
[y,f,coi] = cwt(Sg,Fs);
% reduction of the dB scale : only display max to min = max - Range_dB
Range_dB = 40; % dB scale
out_dB = 20*log10(abs(y));
ind = find(out_dB< max(out_dB,[],'all')-Range_dB);
out_dB(ind) = NaN;
imagesc(t,f,out_dB);
xlabel('Time (s)')
ylabel('Frequency (Hz)')
colormap('jet(128)')
axis tight;
cb = colorbar(ax);
set(gca,'YDir','normal');

Thank you Mr Mathieu for responding but what is the wavelet family? can this applicable for db or sym family? and the does the decible scale related with scale of the wavelet?

hello Yared
sorry, I am not expert in wavelet , I am until now using more basic fft tools . I have to learn a bit more myself on wavelet ...
