Cone-shape Distribution Function - Mathematical Definition

Mathematical Definition

The definition of the cone-shape distribution function is shown as follows:

where

and the kernel function is

The kernel function in domain is defined as:

Following are the magnitude distribution of the kernel function in domain.

Following are the magnitude distribution of the kernel function in domain with different values.

As we can see from the figure above, a properly chosen kernel of cone-shape distribution function can filter out the interference on the axis in the domain, or the ambiguity domain. Therefore, unlike the Choi-Williams distribution function, the cone-shape distribution function can effectively reduce the cross-term results form two component with same center frequency. However, the cross-terms on the axis are still preserved.

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or definition:

    What he loved so much in the plant morphological structure of the tree was that given a fixed mathematical basis, the final evolution was so incalculable.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)
