[[File:Continuous wavelet transform.gif|thumb|300px|right]]
The scale factor <math>a</math> either dilates or compresses a signal. When the scale factor is relatively low, the signal is more contracted which in turn results in a more detailed resulting graph. However, the drawback is that low scale factor does not last for the entire duration of the signal. On the other hand, when the scale factor is high, the signal is stretched out which means that the resulting graph will be presented in less detail. Nevertheless, it usually lasts the entire duration of the signal.

Here, a [[Frequency modulation|frequency-modulated]] tone (plus noise) is analyzed with a [[Morlet wavelet]]; the scale is adjusted from <math>a=1</math> to <math>a=200</math> in steps of unity.]]
