Time-frequency localization operators

Abstract

Translate Article

A technique for producing signals whose energy is concentrated in a given region of the time-frequency plane is examined. The degree to which a given signal is concentrated in a region is measured by integrating its time-frequency distribution over the region. This method has been used for time-varying filtering. Localization operators based on the Wigner distribution and spectrogram are studied. Estimates for the eigenvalue decay and the smoothness and decay of the eigenfunctions are presented. >
