Hyperbolic secants yield Gabor frames

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show that (g2,a,b) is a Gabor frame when a>0,b>0,ab<1 and g2(t)=(1/2pigamma)1/2(coshpigammat)−1 is a hyperbolic secant with scaling parameter gamma>0. This is accomplished by expressing the Zak transform of g2 in terms of the Zak transform of the Gaussian g1(t)=(2gamma)1/4exp(−pigammat2), together with an appropriate use of the Ron-Shen criterion for being a Gabor frame. As a side result it follows that the windows, generating tight Gabor frames, that are canonically associated to g2 and g1 are the same at critical density a=b=1. Also, we display the ``singular dual function corresponding to the hyperbolic secant at critical density.


It is proved that if \(g(x)= (\pi \gamma/2)^{1/2} (\cosh \pi \gamma t)^{-1}\) for some \(\gamma >0\), then the Gabor system \(\{e^{2\pi imbx}g(x-na)\}_{m,n\in Z}\) is a frame for \(L^2(R)\) for all \(0<ab<1.\) The result is proved by Zak-transform methods, combined with the Ron-Shen criterion for Gabor frames, formulated in the time-domain. In the critical case \(ab=1\) no frame is obtained. Surprisingly, it turns out that the formula for the canonical dual in the limit case \(ab=1\) equals the corresponding limit for the Gaussian.
