Abstract
Affine Wigner functions are phase space representations based on the affine group in place of the usual Weyl–Heisenberg group of quantum mechanics. Such representations are relevant to the time–frequency analysis of real signals. An interesting family is singled out by the requirement of covariance with respect to each solvable three-parameter group containing the affine group. Explicit forms are given in each case and properties such as unitarity and localization are discussed. Some particular distributions are recovered.Keywords
