One of the best-known time-frequency representations is the

A time-frequency representation having improved resolution,
relative to the spectrogram, is the [[Wigner-–Ville distribution]],
which may be interpreted as a short-time
Fourier transform with a window function that is perfectly
matched to the signal. The Wigner-–Ville distribution is
highly-concentrated in time and frequency, but it is also
highly nonlinear and non-local. Consequently, this
Line 83:
[[Cohen's class distribution function|Cohen's class]] of
bilinear time-frequency representations is a class of
"smoothed" Wigner-–Ville distributions, employing a smoothing
kernel that can reduce sensitivity of the distribution to
noise and suppresses cross-components, at the expense of
smearing the distribution in time and frequency. This
smearing causes the distribution to be non-zero in regions
where the true Wigner-–Ville distribution shows no energy.
 
The spectrogram is a member of Cohen's class. It is a
smoothed Wigner-–Ville distribution with the smoothing kernel
equal to the Wigner-–Ville distribution of the analysis
window. The method of reassignment smoothes the Wigner-–Ville
distribution, but then refocuses the distribution back to
the true regions of support of the signal components. The
