Abstract
A signal f(t) ∈ 2(R) being given, people in signal processing often consider the associated function of 2 real variables:
This function is related to time-frequency representations of signals (more precisely to the Wigner-Ville representation) and its importance in radar analysis was firstly pointed out by Woodward [18].
Keywords
- Harmonic Oscillator
- Heisenberg Group
- Unitary Irreducible Representation
- Ambiguity Function
- Hyperbolic Case
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
