The paper deals with the Weyl transform \(W_{\sigma}\) defined as the bounded linear operator \(W_{\sigma}:L^{2}(R^{n})\to L^{2}(R^{n})\) given by \[ (W_{\sigma}f,g)=(2\pi)^{-n/2}\int_{R^{n}}\int_{R^{n}} \sigma (x,\xi)W(f,g)(x,\xi) dx d\xi \] for all \(f\) and \(g\) in \(L^{2}(R^{n})\) and \(\sigma \in L^{1}(R^{2n})\). Here \((\;,\;)\) is the inner product in \(L^{2}(R^{n})\) and \(W(f,g)\) is the Wigner transform of \(f\) and \(g\) defined by \[ W(f,g)(x,\xi)=(2\pi)^{-n/2}\int_{R^{n}}e^{-i\xi \cdot p} f\left(x+{\frac{p}{2}}\right)\bar{g}\left(x-{\frac{p}{2}}\right) dp \] for all \(x\) and \(\xi\) in \(R^{n}\). A formula for the trace of the transform \(W_{\sigma}\) is established on the basis of the connection between this transform and linear operator in the Hilbert-Schmidt class.
