This paper discusses time-frequency analysis of clinical percussion signals produced by tapping over human chest or abdomen with a neurological hammer and recorded with an air microphone. The analysis of short, highly damped percussion signals using conventional time-frequency distributions (TFDs) meets certain difficulties, such as poor time-frequency localization, cross terms, and masking of the lower energy features by the higher energy ones. The above shortcomings lead to inaccurate and ambiguous representation of the signal behavior in the time-frequency plane. This work describes an attempt to construct a TF representation specifically tailored to clinical percussion signals to achieve better resolution of individual components corresponding to physical oscillation modes. Matrix Pencil Method (MPM) is used to decompose the signal into a set of exponentially damped sinusoids, which are then plotted in the time-frequency plane. Such representation provides better visualization of the signal structure than the commonly used frequency-amplitude plots and facilitates tracking subtle changes in the signal for diagnostic purposes. The performance of our approach has been verified on both ideal and real percussion signals. The MPM-based time-frequency analysis appears to be a better choice for clinical percussion signals than conventional TFDs, while its ability to visualize damping has immediate practical applications.

Time-frequency analysis is a powerful tool for analyzing non-stationary signals, which can describe the signals frequency varying with time and provide us the joint information of time domain and frequency domain of the signal. We use a synthetic signal to realize the time-frequency analysis methods of wavelet transform, S transform and Wigner-Ville distribution. Through comparing and analyzing those time-frequency distributions, we propose a new method of integrating wavelet transform and Wigner-Ville distribution. This new method gives a better result than that of wavelet transform and Wigner-Ville distribution and increases the time-frequency resolution.
