TLDR
The authors briefly introduce the functional Fourier transform and a number of its properties and present some new results: the interpretation as a rotation in the time-frequency plane, and the FRFT's relationships with time- frequencies such as the Wigner distribution, the ambiguity function, the short-time Fouriertransform and the spectrogram.Abstract:
The functional Fourier transform (FRFT), which is a generalization of the classical Fourier transform, was introduced a number of years ago in the mathematics literature but appears to have remained largely unknown to the signal processing community, to which it may, however, be potentially useful. The FRFT depends on a parameter /spl alpha/ and can be interpreted as a rotation by an angle /spl alpha/ in the time-frequency plane. An FRFT with /spl alpha/=/spl pi//2 corresponds to the classical Fourier transform, and an FRFT with /spl alpha/=0 corresponds to the identity operator. On the other hand, the angles of successively performed FRFTs simply add up, as do the angles of successive rotations. The FRFT of a signal can also be interpreted as a decomposition of the signal in terms of chirps. The authors briefly introduce the FRFT and a number of its properties and then present some new results: the interpretation as a rotation in the time-frequency plane, and the FRFT's relationships with time-frequency representations such as the Wigner distribution, the ambiguity function, the short-time Fourier transform and the spectrogram. These relationships have a very simple and natural form and support the FRFT's interpretation as a rotation operator. Examples of FRFTs of some simple signals are given. An example of the application of the FRFT is also given. >read more

System and method for detection and tracking of targets
Orhan Arikan,Ahmet Kemal Ozdemir +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a system and method for detection and tracking of targets, which in a preferred embodiment is based on the use of fractional Fourier transformation of time-domain signals to compute projections of the auto and cross ambiguity functions along arbitrary line segments.

On rotated time-frequency kernels
TL;DR: It is shown that the resulting time-frequency representations show a better reduction of cross-terms without too severely degrading the autoterms than the corresponding original time- frequency representations.

Signal reconstruction from two close fractional Fourier power spectra
TL;DR: It is shown that the proposed method works well for signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) higher than about 3 dB and can be applied for phase retrieval in optics, where only the fractional power spectra associated with intensity distributions can be easily measured.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a representation for discrete-time signals and systems based on short-time Fourier analysis and showed that a class of linear-filtering problems can be represented as the product of the time-varying frequency response of the filter multiplied by the short time Fourier transform of the input signal.
