SIGNAL REPRESENTATION GENERATOR Abstract of the Disclosure An apparatus and method for generating a representation of an arbitrary signal wherein the signal is represented as a sum of reference signals derived from a standard wavelet defined on a grid in the frequency-time plane. The apparatus comprises a plurality of octave circuits, each octave circuit, in turn, comprising a plurality of band circuits that divide a frequency range covering the spectrum of the signal into equal intervals of logarithm of frequency. Each band circuit comprises a bandpass filter to select a frequency component of the signal and a correlator to correlate the signal component with a reference signal derived from a standard wavelet to produce a series of correlation values representing the signal for recordation in response to clock pulses received by the octave circuits. The octave circuits are clocked at rates which increase by a factor of two with increasing octave of frequency with which the octave circuits are associated so that correlation time intervals decreasing by a factor of two for successively higher frequency octaves are defined for all frequency bands within each octave and one correlation value is associated with each octave and one correlation value is associated with each frequency band and with each correlation time interval to effect the representation.
