10、We will call this special affine Fourier transform the affineFourier transform(AFT).The affine Fourier transform canextend the utilities of FRFT and is a useful tool for the opticalsystem analysis.The effect of the FRFT and AFT can beinterpreted by the Wigner distribution function(WDF).Afterdoing th

11、e FRFT,the WDF ofwill be the rotation ofthe WDF ofwith angle23,and after doing the AFT,the WDF ofwill be the twisting of the WDFof.After the continuous fractional Fourier transform has beenderived,many researchers have tried to derive their discretecounterpart,that is,the discrete fractional Fourier

12、 transform(DFRFT).WebrieflyreviewDFRFTsbelow.Thenameforeachtype of DFRFT is not recalled by the original authors.We givetheir names for easy classification.1)Direct form of DFRFT.The simplest way to derive theDFRFT is sampling the continuous FRFT and computingit directly,but when we sample the conti

13、nuous FRFTdirectly,then the resultant discrete transform we obtainwill lose many important properties.The most seriousproblem is the DFRFT of this type will not be unitary andreversible.Besides,lacks closed-form properties,and notadditive,so its applications are very limited.2)Improved sampling-type

14、 DFRFT.In 5,a way to samplethecontinuousFRFTproperlyisintroduced,andthen,theresultantDFRFTwillhavethesimilartransformresultsas1053587X/00$10.00 2000 IEEEPEI AND DING:CLOSED-FORM DISCRETE FRACTIONAL AND AFFINE FOURIER TRANSFORMS1339the continuous FRFT.Although,in this case,the DFRFTcan work very simi

15、larly to the continuous case and has afastalgorithm,butthetransformkernelwillnotbeorthog-onal and additive.Besides,many constraints,includingthe input signal constraint,should be satisfied.3)Linearcombination-typeDFRFT.In68,and24,thediscrete fractional Fourier transform is derived by usingthe linear

16、 combination of identity operation,DFT,timeinverse operation,and IDFT.In this case,the transformmatrix is orthogonal,and the additivity property and thereversibility property will satisfy for this type of DFRFT.However,the main problem is that the transform resultswill not match to the continuous FR

17、FT.Besides,it willwork very similarly to the original Fourier transform orthe identity operation and lose the important character-istic of“fractionalization.”4)Eigenvectors decomposition-type DFRFT.In 911,and 16,the authors derive another type of discrete frac-tional Fourier transform by searching t

18、he eigenvectorsand eigenvalues of the DFT matrix and then compute thefractional power of the DFT matrix.This type of DFRFTwill work very similarly to the continuous FRFT andwill also have the properties of orthogonal,additivity,and reversibility.In 11,they have further improved thistype of DFRFT by

19、modifying their eigenvectors moresimilarly to the continuous Hermite functions,which arethe eigenfunctions of the FRFT.These types of DFRFTslack the fast computation algorithm,and the eigenvectorscannot be written in a closed form.5)Group theory-type DFRFT.In 13,the concept of grouptheory 15 is used

20、,and the DFRFT as the multiplicationof DFT and the periodic chirps are derived.The DFRFTderived will satisfy the rotation property on the Wignerdistribution,and the additivity and reversible propertywill also be satisfied.However,this type of DFRFT canbe derived only when the fractional order of the

21、 DFRFTequals some specified angles,and when the number ofpointsis not prime,it will be very complicated to de-rive.6)Impulse train-type DFRFT.Recently,in 14,anothertype of DFRFT is derived.This type of DFRFT can beviewed as a special case of the continuous FRFT.In thiscase,the input functionis a per

22、iodic,equally spacedimpulse train,and if the number of impulses in a periodis,and the period is,then.Besides,thevalue ofis limited and must be a rational number(is the order of FRFT).Because this type of DFRFTcan be viewed as a special case of continuous FRFT,many properties of the FRFT will also ex

23、ist and have thefast algorithm.However,this type of DFRFT has manyconstraints and cannot be defined for all values of.Although many types of the discrete fractional Fourier trans-form(DFRFT)have been derived recently,no discrete affineFourier transform(DAFT)has yet been derived.In this paper,we will

24、 derive a new type of DFRFT,and thenextend it into the discrete affine Fourier transform(DAFT).TheDFRFT and DAFT we derived come from the proper samplingof the continuous FRFT and AFT.The DFRFT introduced in5 is also derived from the sampling of the continuous FRFT.Here,however,we will sample the co

25、ntinuous FRFT and affineFourier transform by some proper intervals,and therefore,thetransform matrix will be orthogonal and reversible.It can bewritten in the closed form so that many properties can be de-rived,and the fast algorithms can be achieved.Our idea comesfrom the 12 and 22.In these papers,

26、when we sample thefractional Fourier transform properly,we will obtain an unitarytransform.We will improve upon these ideas.In this paper,our focus is on the practical applications.Thus,although our DFRFT/DAFT seem neat in concepts andsacrifice the additivity property,they are very suitable for thep

27、ractical applications due to the simpler and closed form ofdiscrete fractional convolution and correlation introduced inSection II-D and the advantages listed in Section II-E.OurDFRFT/DAFT will have the lowest complexity among all thecurrent the DFRFT/DAFTs that still have the similar propertiesas t

28、he continuous FRFT/AFT.Due to the orientation of practical usage,we will derive twotypes of DFRFT/DAFT.These two types of DFRFT/DAFT areessentially the same but different in parameterizations.The firsttype we derive has the parameters that are more directly linkedto the continuous FRFT/AFT and suits

29、 the applications of com-puting the continuous FRFT/AFT.On the other hand,type 2has the simpler parameters set and allows more elegant expres-sion for the operator kernels.It is suitable for other applicationsof DFRFT/DAFT,such as the filter design,pattern recognition(described in Section IV),and th

30、e use for the phase retrievaldiscussed in 12 and 22 can also be improved by the type 2DFRFT/DAFT proposed in this paper.In Section II,we will give the derivation and definitions ofour new types of DFRFT and DAFT.For different applications,we will use different parameterizations to define 2 types ofD

31、FRFT/DAFT.In Section III,we will discuss their propertiesand their transform results for some special signals.In SectionIV,we discuss their applications.Finally,in Section V,wemake a conclusion.II.DERIVATION OFCLOSED-FORMDISCRETEFRACTIONALANDAFFINEFOURIERTRANSFORMSA.The Closed-Form Discrete Fraction

37、ortant Discussion About the DFRFT of Type1:We also note,from(1)and(2),the inverse of the forwardcontinuous FRFT with orderis just the forward continuousFRFT with order.In fact,this property will also exist forthe DFRFT defined as(17)(21).Since,from(11),the inverseofis just its Hermitian,i.e.,and if

38、we de-fineas(16),then we find(22)In the above equation,we notice that the sampling interval ofthe input(the second subscript)and the sampling interval ofthe output(the third subscript)are exchanged.Then,we canconclude that(23)thatis,theDFRFToforderwiththesamplingintervalinthe input andat the output

39、will be the inverse of the DFRFTof orderwith the sampling intervalin the input andatthe output.This is the reversible property of the DFRFT of type1.PEI AND DING:CLOSED-FORM DISCRETE FRACTIONAL AND AFFINE FOURIER TRANSFORMS1341As the continuous FRFT,the DFRFT of type 1 also has theperiodic property,

40、that is(24)The DFRFT of type 1 will have the period ofas the contin-uous FRFT.The DFRFTs of type 1 also have the conjugationproperty thatifis real(25)The rest important properties will be derived in the Section III.Although the DFRFT introduced here has no additivity prop-erty,it can be convertible,

41、that is,we can convert the DFRFTwith some set of parameters into the DFRFT with another set ofparameters.Suppose we usefor the DFRFT with theparameterand usefor the DFRFT with the param-eter(The sampling interval in both time domains is the sameand fixed).Then,from(16),we findwhereis the DFT or IDFT

43、ndmustalsobeverysmall,andthenumberofpointsmustincrease.This will increase the computation time of the DFRFT becausefor the continuous FRFTso whenis very small,we can first do the forward DFTfor the sampling ofand do the DFRFT defined as(17)or(18)with the order.Thus,we can change the DFRFTof type 1 t

44、o(29)where(29a)Then,becausefor the case thatis small,we can define the DFRFT asfollows.Modification form of the DFRFT of type 1 when(30)whereisthesameas(29a),andtheconstraintforbecomes(31)Whenis small,we can use(30)as the DFRFT.The DFRFT of type 1 has a very important advantage,that is,it is efficie

45、nt to calculate and implement.Because there are twochirp multiplications and one FFT,the total number of the mul-tiplication operations required is,whereis the length of the output.Among all types ofDFRFT,the linear combination type DFRFT 68,24 willhavethe least complexity and only requiremulti-plic

46、ation operations.However,it does not match the continuousFRFT and lacks many of the characteristics of the continuousFRFT.For example,it is hard to filter out the chirp noise withthistype ofDFRFT.Formost of theother types ofDFRFT,suchas the improved directly sampling-type DFRFT 5,we needmultiplicati

47、on operations because there is oneconvolution operation and two chirp multiplication operationsrequired.The DFRFT we introduce will have the lowest com-plexity among all types of DFRFT that still work similarly tothe continuous FRFT.3)Applications for Calculating the Continuous FRFT:Wecan use the DF

48、RFT of type 1 to calculate the continuous FRFT.When using the DFRFT for this application,we first sample theinput continuous function into a discrete sequence,do the for-ward DFRFT,and get the output of DFRFT as the sampling ofthe transform results of continuous FRFT.We note that becausewhen we deri

49、ve the DFRFT of type 1,we have normalized the1342IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SIGNAL PROCESSING,VOL.48,NO.5,MAY 2000unitaryfrom(14)to(15).Thus,whenusingtheDFRFToftype1toimplementthecontinuousFRFT,wemustconsiderthisnor-malization factor,that is,if(32)then(33)We will use some examples to discuss this.In Figs.
