cepstrum
In Fourier analysis, the cepstrum (; plural cepstra, adjective cepstral) is the result of computing the inverse Fourier transform (IFT) of the logarithm of the estimated signal spectrum. The method is a tool for investigating periodic structures in frequency spectra. The power cepstrum has applications in the analysis of human speech.
phase noise
frequency domain representation of rapid, short-term, random fluctuations in the phase of a waveform, caused by time domain instabilities
Center frequency
The channel between upper and lower cutoff frequencies of a band system
frequency deviation
used in FM radio to describe the maximum difference between an FM modulated frequency and the nominal carrier frequency;sometimes mistakenly used as synonymous with frequency drift
periodogram
In signal processing, a periodogram is an estimate of the spectral density of a signal. The term was coined by Arthur Schuster in 1898. Today, the periodogram is a component of more sophisticated methods (see spectral estimation). It is the most common tool for examining the amplitude vs frequency characteristics of FIR filters and window functions. FFT spectrum analyzers are also implemented as a time-sequence of periodograms.
