Uncertainty principles of the fractional Clifford–Fourier transform

Abstract

In this paper, we define the two‐sided fractional Clifford–Fourier transform (FrCFT). Using its properties, we get some uncertainty principles of the FrCFT. Two parts are obtained. One part is a modified uncertainty principle. The uncertainty principle states a lower bound on the spreads of two specific transform domains. It is shown that only a Gaussian‐type signal minimizes the uncertainty. We also give a Heisenberg‐type uncertainty principle. The other part is a logarithmic uncertainty principle, which may be obtained from a sharp of Pitt's inequality.
