Cross-Wavelet Transform

The cross-wavelet transform (XWT) is a bivariate extension of the continuous wavelet transform that measures the joint time-frequency representation of two signals. Introduced by Torrence and Compo (1998) and applied extensively by Grinsted, Moore, and Jevrejeva (2004) to geophysical data, XWT reveals where two signals share common spectral power and the phase relationship between them at each time-frequency point. This is the natural generalization of classical cross-spectral analysis to the time-varying domain.
