3.4. OTHER TRANSFORMS 67<br />

uncertainty principle. One way is to say that for any signal (here a signal corresponds<br />

to a function in L 2 ), the multiplication of the variances in both the time domain and the<br />

frequency domain are lower bounded by a constant. From a time-frequency decomposition<br />

point of view, the previous statement means that the area of a cell for each atom can not be<br />

smaller than a certain constant. A further result from Slepian, Pollak and Landau claims<br />

that a signal can never have both finite time duration and finite bandwidth simultaneously.<br />

For a careful description about them, readers are referred to [68].<br />

Figure 3.7: Idealized tiling on the time-frequency plane for (a) sampling in time domain<br />

(Shannon), (b) Fourier transform, (c) Gabor analysis, (d) orthogonal wavelet transform, (e)<br />

chirplet, (f) orthonormal fan basis, (g) cosine packets, and (h) wavelet packets.<br />

The way to choose these cells determines the time-frequency decomposition scheme.<br />

Two basic principles are generally followed: (1) the tiling on TFP does not overlap, and (2)<br />

the union of these cells cover the entire TFP.<br />

Time-frequency decomposition is a powerful idea, because we can idealize different <strong>transforms</strong><br />

as different methods of tiling on the TFP. Figure 3.7 gives a pictorial tour of idealized<br />

tiling for some <strong>transforms</strong>.
