The behavior of the continuous wavelet and Gabor coefficients in the asymptotic limit, using stationary phase ap- proximations are investigated. In particular, it is shown how, under some additional assumptions, these coefficients allow the extraction of some characteristics of the analyzed signal, like for example frequency and amplitude modulation laws. Applica- tions to spectral line estimations and matched filtering are briefly discussed.
