“…It is a time-shifted and frequency-modulated version of LCT [11][12][13]. Many linear transforms widely used in practical applications, such as Fourier transform (FT), offset FT [7,9], fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) [7,9,14], offset FRFT [12,15], Fresnel transform (FRST) [2], LCT, etc., are all special cases of the OLCT. Therefore, studying the OLCT and developing related theories of the OLCT may help to gain more insights into its special situation and transfer the knowledge gained from one discipline to other disciplines.…”
