Abstract
This is the first of four chapters devoted to a very successful type of CS, namely, wavelets. In the present one, we treat the simplest case, the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) in 1-D. Starting from the beginning, we rewrite the general CS formalism for the case at hand, that is, the connected affine group of the line. We discuss the basic properties, the interpretation of the CWT as a phase space representation and some examples, with emphasis on a recent application to NMR spectroscopy.

Notes
- 1.
Sometimes called the Gabor transform, although Gabor considered only a discretized version of it [294].
- 2.
The set {α m } is directed if, for any pair α m , α n , there is an element α p such that α m ≤ α p and α m ≤ α p .
- 3.
By this, we mean that the function is numerically negligible outside that region.
- 4.
We return here to the (t, ω) notations, more familiar in signal processing.
