Frame analysis of the discrete Gabor-scheme

Abstract

The properties of the discrete Gabor scheme are considered in the context of oversampling. The approach is based on the concept of frames and utilizes the piecewise finite Zak transform (PFZT). The frame operator is represented as a matrix-valued function in the PFZT domain, and its properties are examined in relation to this function. The frame bounds are calculated by means of the eigenvalues of the matrix-valued function, and the dual frame, which is used in calculation of the expansion coefficients, is expressed by means of the inverse matrix. DFT-based algorithms for computation of the expansion coefficients, and for the reconstruction of signals from these coefficients, are generalized for the case of oversampling of the Gabor space. The algorithms are implemented in an example of representation of a nonstationary signal.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
