Name

hilbert — Discrete-time analytic signal computation of a real signal using Hilbert transform

Calling Sequence

x=hilbert(xr)

Parameters

xr

real vector : the real signal samples

x

Complex vector: the discrete-time analytic signal.

Description

Returns theanalytic signal, from a real data sequence.

The analytic signal x = xr + i*xi has a real part, xr, which is the original data, and an imaginary part, xi, which contains the Hilbert transform. The imaginary part is a version of the original real sequence with a 90° phase shift.
