<p>A <b>spectrogram</b> is a visual representation of the <a href="Spectral_density" title="Spectral density">spectrum</a> of <a href="Frequencies" class="mw-redirect" title="Frequencies">frequencies</a> of a signal as it varies with time.
When applied to an <a href="Audio_signal" title="Audio signal">audio signal</a>, spectrograms are sometimes called <b>sonographs</b>, <b>voiceprints</b>, or <b>voicegrams</b>. When the data are represented in a 3D plot they may be called <i><a href="Waterfall_display" class="mw-redirect" title="Waterfall display">waterfall displays</a></i>.
</p><p>Spectrograms are used extensively in the fields of <a href="Music" title="Music">music</a>, <a href="Linguistics" title="Linguistics">linguistics</a>, <a href="Sonar" title="Sonar">sonar</a>, <a href="Radar" title="Radar">radar</a>, <a href="Speech_processing" title="Speech processing">speech processing</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="Seismology" title="Seismology">seismology</a>, <a href="Ornithology" title="Ornithology">ornithology</a>, and others. Spectrograms of audio can be used to identify spoken words <a href="Phonetics" title="Phonetics">phonetically</a>, and to analyse the <a href="Animal_communication" title="Animal communication">various calls of animals</a>.
</p><p>A spectrogram can be generated by an <a href="Optical_spectrometer" title="Optical spectrometer">optical spectrometer</a>, a bank of <a href="Band-pass_filter" title="Band-pass filter">band-pass filters</a>, by <a href="Fourier_transform" title="Fourier transform">Fourier transform</a> or by a <a href="Wavelet_transform" title="Wavelet transform">wavelet transform</a> (in which case it is also known as a <b>scaleogram</b> or <b>scalogram</b>).<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<p>A spectrogram is usually depicted as a <a href="Heat_map" title="Heat map">heat map</a>, i.e., as an image with the intensity shown by varying the <a href="Colour" class="mw-redirect" title="Colour">colour</a> or <a href="Brightness" title="Brightness">brightness</a>.
</p>
<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Format">Format</h2></div>
<p>A common format is a graph with two geometric dimensions: one axis represents <a href="Time" title="Time">time</a>, and the other axis represents <a href="Frequency" title="Frequency">frequency</a>; a third dimension indicating the <a href="Amplitude" title="Amplitude">amplitude</a> of a particular frequency at a particular time is represented by the <a href="Brightness" title="Brightness">intensity</a> or color of each point in the image.
</p><p>There are many variations of format: sometimes the vertical and horizontal axes are switched, so time runs up and down; sometimes as a <a href="Waterfall_plot" title="Waterfall plot">waterfall plot</a> where the amplitude is represented by height of a 3D surface instead of color or intensity. The frequency and amplitude axes can be either <a href="Linear" class="mw-redirect" title="Linear">linear</a> or <a href="Logarithm" title="Logarithm">logarithmic</a>, depending on what the graph is being used for. Audio would usually be represented with a logarithmic amplitude axis (probably in <a href="Decibel" title="Decibel">decibels</a>, or dB), and frequency would be linear to emphasize harmonic relationships, or logarithmic to emphasize musical, tonal relationships.

<p>Spectrograms of light may be created directly using an <a href="Optical_spectrometer" title="Optical spectrometer">optical spectrometer</a> over time.
</p><p>Spectrograms may be created from a <a href="Time-domain" class="mw-redirect" title="Time-domain">time-domain</a> signal in one of two ways: approximated as a filterbank that results from a series of <a href="Band-pass_filter" title="Band-pass filter">band-pass filters</a> (this was the only way before the advent of modern digital signal processing), or calculated from the time signal using the <a href="Fourier_transform" title="Fourier transform">Fourier transform</a>. These two methods actually form two different <a href="Time%E2%80%93frequency_representation" title="Time–frequency representation">time–frequency representations</a>, but are equivalent under some conditions.
</p><p>The bandpass filters method usually uses <a href="Analog_signal" title="Analog signal">analog</a> processing to divide the input signal into frequency bands; the magnitude of each filter's output controls a transducer that records the spectrogram as an image on paper.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Creating a spectrogram using the FFT is a <a href="Digital_signal_processing" title="Digital signal processing">digital process</a>. Digitally <a href="Sampling_(signal_processing)" title="Sampling (signal processing)">sampled</a> data, in the <a href="Time_series" title="Time series">time domain</a>, is broken up into chunks, which usually overlap, and Fourier transformed to calculate the magnitude of the frequency spectrum for each chunk. Each chunk then corresponds to a vertical line in the image; a measurement of magnitude versus frequency for a specific moment in time (the midpoint of the chunk). These spectrums or time plots are then "laid side by side" to form the image or a three-dimensional surface,<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or slightly overlapped in various ways, i.e. <a href="Window_function#Overlapping_windows" title="Window function">windowing</a>.

<p>From the formula above, it appears that a spectrogram contains no information about the exact, or even approximate, <a href="Phase_(waves)" title="Phase (waves)">phase</a> of the signal that it represents. For this reason, it is not possible to reverse the process and generate a copy of the original signal from a spectrogram, though in situations where the exact initial phase is unimportant it may be possible to generate a useful approximation of the original signal. The Analysis & Resynthesis Sound Spectrograph<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> is an example of a computer program that attempts to do this. The <a href="Pattern_playback" title="Pattern playback">pattern playback</a> was an early speech synthesizer, designed at <a href="Haskins_Laboratories" title="Haskins Laboratories">Haskins Laboratories</a> in the late 1940s, that converted pictures of the acoustic patterns of speech (spectrograms) back into sound.
</p><p>In fact, there is some phase information in the spectrogram, but it appears in another form, as time delay (or <a href="Group_delay" class="mw-redirect" title="Group delay">group delay</a>) which is the <a href="Dual_(mathematics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dual (mathematics)">dual</a> of the <a href="Instantaneous_frequency" class="mw-redirect" title="Instantaneous frequency">instantaneous frequency</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Boashash1992_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Boashash1992-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The size and shape of the analysis window can be varied. A smaller (shorter) window will produce more accurate results in timing, at the expense of precision of frequency representation. A larger (longer) window will provide a more precise frequency representation, at the expense of precision in timing representation. This is an instance of the <a href="Heisenberg_uncertainty_principle" class="mw-redirect" title="Heisenberg uncertainty principle">Heisenberg uncertainty principle</a>, that the product of the precision in two <a href="Conjugate_variables" title="Conjugate variables">conjugate variables</a> is greater than or equal to a constant (B*T>=1 in the usual notation).<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<li>For a vibration signal, a spectrogram's color scale identifies the frequencies of a waveform's amplitude peaks over time. Unlike a time or frequency graph, a spectrogram correlates peak values to time and frequency. Vibration test engineers use spectrograms to analyze the frequency content of a continuous waveform, locating strong signals and determining how the vibration behavior changes over time.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>
