It is difficult to generate high-definition time-frequency maps for rapidly changing transient signals. New details of the theory of harmonic wavelet analysis are described which provide the basis for computational algorithms designed to improve map definition. Features of these algorithms include the use of ridge identification and phase gradient as diagnostic features.
