Abstract

We present a method of mode analysis to search for signals with frequency evolution and limited duration in a given data stream. Our method is a natural expansion of the Fourier analysis, and we can obtain the information about frequency evolution with high frequency precision and high time resolution. Applications of this method to the analysis of inspiral and burst signals show that the signals are characterized by an index which we name `bounce hardness'. The index corresponds to the growth rate of the signals.
