Hence, the bispectrum is interpreted as a measure of the degree of three-wave coupling. | |||

The two-dimensional bicoherence graph tends to show mainly two types of structures: | |||
* 'Points': indicating sharply defined, unchanging, locked frequencies. | |||
* 'Lines': these are more difficult to interpret. It is often stated that 'lines' are due to single mode (frequency) interacting with a broad range of frequencies (e.g., a [[Geodesic Acoustic Mode]] and broad-band turbulence<ref>Y. Nagashima et al, ''Observation of coherent bicoherence and biphase in potential fluctuations around geodesic acoustic mode frequency on JFT-2M'', [[doi:10.1088/0741-3335/48/5A/S38|Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion '''48''' (2006) A377]]</ref>) - but it is not evident that this is the only explanation. Particularly, two interacting oscillators (continuously exchanging energy) ''also'' produce lines in the bicoherence graph.<ref name="milligen1995"></ref><ref>B.Ph. van Milligen, L. García, B.A. Carreras, M.A. Pedrosa, C. Hidalgo, J.A. Alonso, T. Estrada and E. Ascasíbar, ''MHD mode activity and the velocity shear layer at TJ-II'', [[doi:10.1088/0029-5515/52/1/013006|Nucl.

Starting from the spatio-temporal bicorrelation | |||
:<math>C_{22}(x_1,x_2,t_1,t_2) = \left \langle X_1(x,t)X_2(x+x_1,t+t_1)X_2(x+x_2,t+t_2) \right \rangle </math> | |||
the spatio-temporal bispectrum is | |||
:<math>B_2(k_1,k_2,\omega_1,\omega_2) = \hat X_1^*(k,\omega)\hat X_2(k_1,\omega_1) \hat X_2(k_2,\omega_2)</math> | |||
