Modulation space

Article summary

Modulation spaces are a family of Banach spaces defined by the behavior of the short-time Fourier transform with respect to a test function from the Schwartz space. They were originally proposed by Hans Georg Feichtinger and are recognized to be the right kind of function spaces for time-frequency analysis. Feichtinger's algebra, while originally introduced as a new Segal algebra, is identical to a certain modulation space and has become a widely used space of test functions for time-frequency analysis. Modulation spaces are defined as follows. For 1\leq p,q \leq \infty , a non-negative function m(x,\omega) on \mathbb{R}^{2d} and a test function g \in \mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^d) , the modulation space M^{p,q}_m(\mathbb{R}^d) is defined by : M^{p,q}_m(\mathbb{R}^d) = \left\{ f\in \mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R}^d)\ :\ \left(\int_{\mathbb{R}^d}\left(\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} |V_gf(x,\omega)|^p m(x,\omega)^p dx\right)^{q/p} d\omega\right)^{1/q} In the above equation, V_gf denotes the short-time Fourier transform of f with respect to g evaluated at (x,\omega) , namely : V_gf(x,\omega)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^d}f(t)\overline{g(t-x)}e^{-2\pi it\cdot \omega}dt=\mathcal{F}^{-1}_{\xi}(\overline{\hat{g}(\xi)}\hat{f}(\xi+\omega))(x). In other words, f\in M^{p,q}_m(\mathbb{R}^d) is equivalent to V_gf\in L^{p,q}_m(\mathbb{R}^{2d}) .…
