Linear signal synthesis using the Radon-Wigner transform

Thresholding the Radon-Wigner transform (RWT) followed by filtered backprojection to the time-frequency plane reduces noise and cross-term power for multicomponent linear-FM signals. Although the RWT is bilinear, it may be calculated as the magnitude-squared of two linear functions. In this paper, we derive a linear synthesis algorithm from the RWT and demonstrate its efficacy. >
