The fractional Fourier transform (FRT) is an extension of the ordinary Fourier transform (FT). Applying the language of the unified FT, we develop FRT expressions for discrete and continuous signals, introducing a particular form of periodicity: chirp-periodicity. The FRT sampling theorem is derived as an extension of its ordinary counterpart
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
