Abstract: In this paper, we investigate formalisms for specifying periodic signals using time and frequency domain specifications along with algorithms for the signal recognition and generation problems for such specifications. The time domain specifications are in the form of hybrid automata whose continuous state variables generate the desired signals. The frequency domain specifications take the form of an “envelope” that constrains the possible power spectra of the periodic signals with a given frequency cutoff. The combination of time and frequency domain specifications yields mixed-domain specifications that constrain a signal to belong to the intersection of the both specifications.
