Similar Function envelope Matlab in Python

Question

I would like to know if there is a function envelope in Python to have the same result as this

I have already tried an envelope function in Python but there is this result and it doesn't correspond with what I want.

Solution

Though you don't mention exactly what function you use, it seems like you are using two different kinds of envelopes.

The way you call envelope in matlab, the relevant description is:

[yupper,ylower] = envelope(x) returns the upper and lower envelopes of the input sequence, x, as the magnitude of its analytic signal. The analytic signal of x is found using the discrete Fourier transform as implemented in hilbert. The function initially removes the mean of x and adds it back after computing the envelopes. If x is a matrix, then envelope operates independently over each column of x.

Based on this, I suppose you would be looking for a way to get the Hilber transform in python. An example of this can be found here:

 import numpy as np
 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 from scipy.signal import hilbert, chirp

 duration = 1.0
 fs = 400.0
 samples = int(fs*duration)
 t = np.arange(samples) / fs

 signal = chirp(t, 20.0, t[-1], 100.0)
 signal *= (1.0 + 0.5 * np.sin(2.0*np.pi*3.0*t) )

 analytic_signal = hilbert(signal)
 amplitude_envelope = np.abs(analytic_signal)
 instantaneous_phase = np.unwrap(np.angle(analytic_signal))
 instantaneous_frequency = np.diff(instantaneous_phase) / (2.0*np.pi) * fs

 fig = plt.figure()
 ax0 = fig.add_subplot(211)
 ax0.plot(t, signal, label='signal')
 ax0.plot(t, amplitude_envelope, label='envelope')
 ax0.set_xlabel("time in seconds")
 ax0.legend()
 ax1 = fig.add_subplot(212)
 ax1.plot(t[1:], instantaneous_frequency)
 ax1.set_xlabel("time in seconds")
 ax1.set_ylim(0.0, 120.0)

Resulting in:
