Abstract
In a number of NDE problems, parameters of interest are related to both temporal and spectral signal descriptions. It is then proposed to introduce mixed tools which consider time and frequency simultaneously. Among different possible approaches, it is justified that time-frequency distributions related to the Wigner-Ville transform are of special interest. A concrete example, stemming from an underwater acoustics experiment, is provided for supporting the usefulness of the proposed method.
