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 is history? Its beginning is that of the centuries of systematic work devoted to the solution of the enigma of death, so that death itself may eventually be overcome. That is why people write symphonies, and why they discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves.
    Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)

    It is very hard to give a just definition of love. The most we can say of it is this: that in the soul, it is a desire to rule; in the spirit, it is a sympathy; and in the body, it is but a hidden and subtle desire to possess—after many mysteries—what one loves.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
