A comparative study on properties and uncertainty principles of fractional Fourier transform and offset fractional Fourier transform

Abstract

This work deals with the offset fractional Fourier transform (OFrFT), which is a more general version of the fractional Fourier transform (FrFT). We demonstrate the basic properties such as translation, modulation and parity. The results are generalization of the FrFT properties. We study a relation of the OFrFT with the FrFT and the Fourier transform. Based on the relation, the key properties such as Parseval’s identity and inversion formula are derived. Applying the properties and the relation allow us to establish several versions of the uncertainty inequalities for the OFrFT. In addition, we discuss the comparison of the OFrFT with the FrFT in terms of properties and uncertainty principles. Finally, we perform an illustrative example to demonstrate that the value of Heisenberg uncertainty inequality for the OFrFT is bigger than that of Heisenberg uncertainty inequality for the FrFT and effect of the offset parameter in minimizing the Heisenberg uncertainty principle associated with the OFrFT.
