Hermite Functions and Uncertainty Principles for the Fourier and the Windowed Fourier Transforms
نویسنده
چکیده
We extend an uncertainty principle due to Beurling into a characterization of Hermite functions. More precisely, all functions f on R which may be written as P (x) exp(Ax, x), with A a real symmetric definite positive matrix, are characterized by integrability conditions on the product f(x)f̂(y). We also give the best constant in uncertainty principles of Gelf’and Shilov type. We then obtain similar results for the windowed Fourier transform (also known, up to elementary changes of functions, as the radar ambiguity function or the Wigner transform). We complete the paper with a sharp version of Heisenberg’s inequality for this transform.

Holomorphic Sobolev Spaces, Hermite and Special Hermite Semigroups and a Paley-wiener Theorem for the Windowed Fourier Transform
The images of Hermite and Laguerre Sobolev spaces under the Hermite and special Hermite semigroups (respectively) are characterised. These are used to characterise the image of Schwartz class of rapidly decreasing functions f on Rn and Cn under these semigroups. The image of the space of tempered distributions is also considered and a Paley-Wiener theorem for windowed ( short-time) Fourier tran...
متن کاملPathologies cardiac discrimination using the Fast Fourir Transform (FFT) The short time Fourier transforms (STFT) and the Wigner distribution (WD)
This paper is concerned with a synthesis study of the fast Fourier transform (FFT), the short time Fourier transform (STFT and the Wigner distribution (WD) in analysing the phonocardiogram signal (PCG) or heart cardiac sounds. The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) can provide a basic understanding of the frequency contents of the heart sounds. The STFT is obtained by calculating the Fourier tran...
متن کاملOn Positive Functions with Positive Fourier Transforms
Using the basis of Hermite–Fourier functions (i.e. the quantum oscillator eigenstates) and the Sturm theorem, we derive constraints for a function and its Fourier transform to be both real and positive. We propose a constructive method based on the algebra of Hermite polynomials. Applications are extended to the 2-dimensional case (i.e. Fourier–Bessel transforms and the algebra of Laguerre poly...
متن کاملFrames and orthonormal bases for variable windowed Fourier transforms
We generalize the windowed Fourier transform to the variable-windowed Fourier transform. This generalization brings the Gabor transform and the wavelet transform under the same framework. Using frame theory we characterize frames and orthonormal bases for the variable windowed Fourier series (VWFS). These characterizations are formulated explicitly in terms of window functions. Therefore they c...
متن کاملMeasurement of Plain Weave Fabrics Density Using Fourier Transforms
Warp and weft spacing and its coefficient of variation affect the physical properties of fabrics such as fabric hand, frictional and mechanical properties. In this paper the weft and warp spacing and its coefficient of variation for plain weave is calculated using Fourier transforms. Different methods have been used in this work including autocorrelation function. First, two dimensional power s...
