Hilbert Transformer:

Hilbert Transform of a signal x(t) is defined as:

\(H\left\{ {x\left( t \right)} \right\} = x\left( t \right)*\frac{1}{{\pi t}}\)

\( = \mathop \smallint \limits_{ = \infty }^\infty x\left( \tau \right) \cdot \frac{1}{{\pi \left( {t - \tau } \right)}}d\tau \)

\( = \frac{1}{\pi }\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty \frac{{x\left( \tau \right)}}{{\left( {t - \tau } \right)}}d\tau \)

The impulse response of Hilbert Transform is given by

\(h\left( t \right) = \frac{1}{{\pi t}}\)

h(t) ≠ 0 for t < 0

Hence, the System is Non – causal.

  • Hilbert transform does not change the domain of the signal.
  • The magnitude of the frequency component present in x(t) remains unchanged when it is passed through the system.
  • The phase of the positive frequency components is shifted by -π/2 and that of negative frequency components is shifted by +π/2.
  • A signal x(t) and its Hilbert transform \({\rm{\hat x}}\left( {\rm{t}} \right)\) are orthogonal to each other.
