Special Affine Fourier Transform for Space-Time Algebra Signals in Detail

Authors: Eckhard Hitzer

We generalize the space-time Fourier transform (SFT) [1] to a special affine Fourier transform (SASFT, also known as offset linear canonical transform) for 16-dimensional space-time multivector Cl(3,1)-valued signals over the domain of space-time (Minkowski space) R^{3,1}. We establish how it can be computed in terms of the SFT, and introduce its properties of multivector coefficient linearity, shift and modulation, inversion, Rayleigh (Parseval) energy theorem, partial derivative identities, a directional uncertainty principle and its specialization to coordinates. All important results are proven in full detail. [1] E. Hitzer, Quaternion Fourier Transform on Quaternion Fields and Generalizations. Adv. Appl.
