Zak Transform


The Zak transform is a signal transform relevant to time-continuous signals sampled at a uniform rate and an arbitrary clock phase (Janssen 1988). The Zak transform of a signal can be considered as a mixed time-frequency representation of f

 (Zf)_T(t,nu)=T^(1/2)sum_(k=-infty)^inftyf(t+kT)e^(-2piiknuT)

for 0<=t<=T and 0<=nu<=T^(-1). The Zak transform is sometimes also known as the Weil-Brezin map.
