Abstract

The discrete Wigner-distribution(DWD) was implemented for the time-frequency analysis of heart rate variability signals. The smoothed cross-DWD was used to estimate time-varying power spectrum. Spurious cross-terms were suppressed using a smoothing data window and a Gauss frequency window. The DWD is very easy to implement using the FFT algorithm. Experiment show that the DWD follows well the instantaneous changes of spectral content of heart rate variability signals, which characterize the dynamics of autonomic nervous system response.
