The aliasing problem in discrete-time Wigner distributions

TLDR
In this paper, the authors compare different definitions of the Wigner distribution with respect to aliasing and computational complexity and conclude that no definition leads to a function that is optimum in all respects.
Abstract
There is no straightforward way to proceed from the continuous-time Wigner distribution to a discrete-time version of this time-frequency signal representation. A previously given definition of such a function turned out to yield a distribution that was periodic with period π instead of 2π and this caused aliasing to occur. Various alternative definitions are considered and compared with respect to aliasing and computational complexity. From this comparison it appears that no definition leads to a function that is optimum in all respects. This is illustrated by an example.

An efficient real-time implementation of the Wigner-Ville distribution

TL;DR: To evaluate the analytic signal required by the WVD analysis system, it is shown that the time domain definition implemented as a finite impulse response (FIR) filter is practical and more efficient than the frequency domain definition of the analytical signal.

The wigner distribution - a tool for time-frequency signal analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the Wigner distribution is adapted to the case of discrete-time signals and it is shown that most of the properties of this time-frequency signal representation carry over directly to the discrete time case, but some other problems are associated with the fact that in general, these aliasing contributions will not be present if the signal is either oversampled by a factor of at least two, or is analytic.

The Wigner distribution function applied to optical signals and systems

TL;DR: In this article, the Wigner distribution function of an optical signal appears to be in close resemblance to the ray concept in geometrical optics, and this resemblance reaches even farther: although derived from Fourier optics, the WIGNer distribution functions of some elementary optical systems can directly be interpreted in terms of geometry.
