Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Time-frequency analysis (TFA) is a set of signal processing methods, techniques, and algorithms based on two types of variables, i.e., time and frequency. It is an alternative to traditional approaches in which time or frequency is used independently.
TFA is an approach that works well with non-stationary signals. The Nonstationarity of the signal means that there is a time-dependency of the signal frequency spectrum. In time-frequency algorithms, the variables of time and frequency are not mutually exclusive but present together. It is an important feature of the TFA that helps analyze non-stationary signals.
One of the most frequently used methods of time-frequency analysis is a short-time Fourier transform. The idea behind this method is to apply the Fourier transform to a portion of the signal.
Over recent years, the researcher proposed many other TFA methods, i.e., wavelet transform, Gabor transform, Wigner-Ville distribution, and Hilbert-Huang transform to name a few.
TFA methods can be applied to solve classical signal processing problems as denoising or detrending, can be a part of the recognition system to generate features in time-frequency domain (machine condition monitoring, speech recognition, etc.), image enhancement (from radars and sonars, etc.) and signal detection and image segmentation.
Therefore, the following contributions regarding Signal Processing and Time-Frequency Analysis are welcome:
TFA-based signal denoising and detrending;
TFA-based image enhancement;
TFA-based machine condition monitoring;
TFA-based speech processing and recognition;
TFA-based biomedical signal processing and feature extraction;
TFA-based seismological signal processing;
TFA-based signal change detection;
TFA-based image processing and segmentation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Signals is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
