Covariant time-frequency analysis

From MaRDI portal





The authors present a theory of linear and bilinear/quadratic time-frequency (TF) representations that satisfy a covariance property with respect to TF displacement operators which cause TF shifts and dilations. This covariance theory establishes a unified framework for short-time Fourier transforms, continuous wavelet transforms and bilinear representations for Cohen's and affine classes. The covariance principle is developed in the group domain and in the TF domain. Fundamental properties of the displacement function connecting these two domains are studied, and a constructive method for this function is presented. The covariance theory is applied to modulation, warping, dual and affine operators. It is shown that for dual operators, the characteristic function method for constructing TF representations is equivalent to the covariance method. The extension of the covariance theory to general locally compact Abelian groups is outlined. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1017.00014].
