hilbert_analytic — MATH spectral op

• Data kinds: signal → table

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.hilbert_analytic(x, fs: 'float' = 1.0) -> 'dict' (to call the implementation directly, import mathspectral; mathspectral.hilbert_analytic(x, fs: 'float' = 1.0) -> 'dict'; from the registry, opsmath.get("hilbert_analytic"))

Usage

The analytic signal z = x + i·H[x] (negative frequencies removed via FFT), and the amplitude, instantaneous phase and instantaneous frequency read from it.

Args:

x: real 1-D signal.

fs: sampling frequency (sets the unit of the instantaneous frequency).

Returns:

analytic complex analytic signal, amplitude |z| (envelope), phase unwrapped phase [rad],

frequency instantaneous frequency = time derivative of the phase / 2π (central differences, same length as x).

Gate: cos → sin (definition of the Hilbert transform), the instantaneous frequency of a linear chirp is f0 + k·t, Bedrosian's theorem (if the envelope is band-limited below the carrier, the amplitude of an AM signal comes back as is). The ends are disturbed by the periodicity assumption (tapering the signal with a window reduces this).

Family-wide input contract (fail-closed)

Every mathops op validates its input before computing (nothing slips through silently):

• complex input raises ValueError — coercing to float64 silently discards the imaginary part (numpy only emits a ComplexWarning and returns a plausible-looking wrong real number). State .real/.imag/abs() explicitly, or use complexops, which handles complex data.

• masked arrays with masked elements raise ValueError — the implicit conversion that peels off the mask and uses the raw values underneath is refused. Say explicitly whether to fill or to drop.

• NaN/Inf raises ValueError on every input (refused with the count stated — it propagates through the whole result).

• Shapes are strict: 1-D and 2-D are never implicitly promoted or broadcast (a matrix in a vector slot, or a vector in a matrix slot, raises ValueError; reshape explicitly).

• Size cap: ops that take a matrix, and the stat_histogram bins, raise ValueError beyond mathops.MAX_ELEMENTS (2^26 ≈ 67 million elements).
