Abstract
The “Square-Wave Method” (SWM) presented here is a new method for the systematic analysis of signals – either locally or globally – depending on only one variable (time). The SWM is based on a technique (previously described elsewhere) for the representation of this type of signals using a sum of trains of square waves.
The SWM is applied here to several analytically characterized signals and to an audio signal.

Note: To the authors’ best knowledge, the technique of representing signals by sums of trains of square waves and the method of signal analysis described here are both original and no scientific literature is available on these topics. For this reason, only two references have been included below.
