High-Order Orthonormal Scaling Functions and Wavelets Give Poor Time-Frequency Localization

Abstract: For a fairly general class of orthonormal scaling functions and wavelets with regularity exponents n, we prove that the areas of the time-frequency windows tend to infinity as n → ∞. This class includes those of Battle-Lemarié and Daubechies. In addition, if the scaling functions have at least asymptotic linear phase, then we prove that they converge to the "sinc" function and their corresponding orthonormal wavelets converge to the "difference" of two sinc functions.

“…After all, the original motivation of wavelet decompositions was to localize phase space in the best possible way. Most recently, Chui and Wang have shown that for a special but useful class of wavelets, the standard deviation in phase space increases without bound as the wavelets are made arbitrarily smooth [3,4]. Obviously, such a result cannot hold for wavelets in general, because the Meyer wavelet [5] is a class C ϱ function with finite uncertainty.…”

“…The smallest possible value of the Heisenberg UC for the family of the Meyer wavelets equals to 6.874 [17]. It is well known [5] that the Heisenberg UC of the Battle-Lemarie and the Daubechies wavelets tends to infinity as their orders grow. A set of real line orthogonal wavelet bases with the uniformly bounded Heisenberg UCs as their orders (smoothness) grow is constructed in [15,16].…”
