Using the concept of locally compact Abelian GROUPS one can have a unified approach to continuous and discrete, to periodic and non-periodic, or one- and multidimensional functions. We will describe, how this abstract view-point helps to obtain a unified description of Gabor Analysis, i.e. the decomposition of signals into building blocks obtained from a particular building block (Gabor atom) and its time-frequency shifts along some lattice in the so-called time-frequency plane (also called phase space). At the end we hope to be able to provide a short description of a generalized function setting which is just the right tool for the development of appropriate concepts, which at the end help to reduce a continuous problem to a computationally feasible, finite-dimensional problem, where modern methods from numerical linear algebra can be used. In short, we will comment on the question: How does Gabor Analysis - performed with the help of MATLAB on a computer - help us to get a better understanding of Gabor analysis on the real line or on Euclidean spaces. |
