We present the results of a high spatial resolution investigation of Doppler oscillations in a solar filament, using the He I 10830Å infrared line. Fourier power spectra of Doppler shifts reveal the presence of periodic signals. Two features, showing oscillations at 2.7 min and 12.5 min, have been studied. The use of the so-called wavelet analysis enables us to estimate the size of both features at 2.7 arc sec and 4.75 arc sec, respectively. Their approximate lifetimes are 10 min and 20 min.
