F

FFT

Fast Fourier transform.

fundamental component

Portion of a signal whose frequency is at the fundamental frequency.

G

Gabor coefficient

The result of Gabor transform.

Gabor expansion

The inverse Gabor transform used on Gabor coefficients to recover a time
domain input signal.

Gabor transform

One of the invertible joint time-frequency transforms.

H

harmonic

Frequencies that are integer or fractional multiples of a fundamental
frequency.

L

LMSE

Least mean square error.

N

Nyquist frequency

Half the sampling frequency. Any analog frequency component above
the Nyquist frequency will, after sampling, be converted, or aliased, to a
frequency below the Nyquist frequency. See also

O

order

A harmonic related to the rotational speed of a machine.

order analysis

The analysis of harmonics related to rotational speed. The application of
harmonic analysis to rotating machinery
