Abstract: The generalized Morse wavelets are shown to constitute a superfamily that essentially encompasses all other commonly used analytic wavelets, subsuming eight apparently distinct types of analysis filters into a single common form. This superfamily of analytic wavelets provides a framework for systematically investigating wavelet suitability for various applications. In addition to a parameter controlling the time-domain duration or Fourier-domain bandwidth, the wavelet {em shape} with fixed bandwidth may be modified by varying a second parameter, called gamma. For integer values of gamma, the most symmetric, most nearly Gaussian, and generally most time-frequency concentrated member of the superfamily is found to occur for gamma=3. These wavelets, known as "Airy wavelets," capture the essential idea of popular Morlet wavelet, while avoiding its deficiencies. They may be recommended as an ideal starting point for general purpose use.
