The author extends to quantized fields the phase-space formalism previously developed for one-particle relativistic quantum theory. An integral transform is derived which extends an arbitrary system of fields from real spacetime \(R^ 4\) to complex spacetime \(C^ 4\). In the case of free fields, the extension is analytic in the union \({\mathcal I}\) of the forward and backward tubes. The forward tube supports only the positive frequency part of the field, and the backward tube the negative-frequency part. Observables such as the charge and energy-momentum are obtained by integrating field combinations over phase spaces, which are two-sheeted, six-dimensional sub-manifolds of \({\mathcal I}\), bounded away from real spacetime \(R^ 4\). Consequently, the fields and their products are much more regular in phase space than on spacetime. Also, the particles associated with these fields are covariantly extended in space.
