Abstract

This research paper shows the application of the mathematical tool “wavelet's” to be used in the interpretation and analysis of electrochemical noise signals. The Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) is one of the most commonly used techniques for analyzing electrochemical noise. But the application of this methodology to the analysis of stochastic signals does not allow their interpretation in a suitable way. The wavelet's methodology carries out the analysis by means of the construction of finite base functions. In several studies, it has been found out that the function that is closest to the electrochemical oscillations is the one called “coiflets,” which presents a similar geometry to what it is observed when an ionic–electronic interchange occurs during an electrochemical interphase. The analysis that appears here was implemented using the toolbox “LabView™.”
