What is envelope function in Matlab?
[ yupper,ylower ] = envelope( x ) returns the upper and lower envelopes of the input sequence, x , as the magnitude of its analytic signal. The analytic signal of x is found using the discrete Fourier transform as implemented in hilbert .
How to use envelope detector in Matlab?
You find the envelope of the signal by taking the absolute value of the analytic signal. The envelope is a low frequency signal compared to the original signal. To reduce its sampling frequency, to eliminate ringing and to smooth the envelope, you downsample this signal and pass the result through a lowpass filter.
What is the functionality of the envelope detector?
An envelope detector can be used to demodulate a previously modulated signal by removing all high frequency components of the signal. The capacitor and resistor form a low-pass filter to filter out the carrier frequency.
How do you find the envelope of a signal?
In the EMD algorithm, the upper and lower envelopes of signals are obtained by using two steps: 1) identify all the local extrema; 2) interpolate between extrema by a cubic spline [9]. The interpolative envelope includes the upper and lower envelopes.
