1 Introduction

The main elements of the modern signal processing arenonstationary non-Gaussian and nonlinear signals Amongthese signals the development of the nonstationary signalprocessing theory is especially remarkable There are manytime-frequency analysis tools for nonstationary signals suchas short-time Fourier transform (STFT) fractional Fouriertransform (FRFT) Gabor transform (GT) Wigner-Ville dis-tribution function (WVD) ambiguity function (AF) linearcanonical transform (LCT) and so forth [1] The WVD isregarded as the mother of all the time-frequency distributionand has become an important distribution in signal analysisand processing especially in the nonstationary signal analysisand processing [2ndash4] The LCT as the generalization of theFourier transform (FT) and the FRFT was first introduced byMoshinsky and Quesne [5] and Collins and Stuart [6] Now

it has been applied for filter designing time-frequency signalseparating signal synthesis and signal encryption [7ndash9]

The quadratic frequency modulated (QFM) signal existswidely in nature and is an important nonlinear module inthe signal processing field It is applied widely in radarsonar speech and communication fields mostly in radarsystems [10] There are many algorithms for estimating theparameters of QFM signal such as the maximum likeli-hood (ML) method [11] the adaptive short-time Fouriertransform method [12] the polynomial Wigner-Ville dis-tributions (PWVDs) [13] the product high-order matched-phase transform (PHMT) [14] and the ambiguity functionbased on the LCT method (LCTAF) [15] Because the MLmethod and LCTAF method need 3-dimensional (3D) and2D maximizations respectively these methods suffer fromcomputational burdenThe adaptive STFTmethod has lowerresolution The PWVDs and PHMT algorithms need high

order of nonlinearity (sixth-order to be exact) and this leadsto high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) threshold Thereforemethods to estimate the QFM signal parameters quickly andaccurately are still an important issue to be solved

In [15 16] Tao et al and Bai et al have defined theWigner-Ville distribution based on linear canonical trans-form (WDL) separately For the WDL Bai has derived someproperties and used them to detect the linear frequencymodulated (LFM) signal The WDL is a new and importantsignal processing tool but they have not discussed theWDL in depth enough In this paper we deduce some newproperties of WDL and investigate the relationship betweenWDL and other transforms We also derive WDLs of somecommon signals In order to estimate QFM signal param-eters we define a new kind of Wigner-Ville distributionmdashthe generalized Wigner-Ville distribution based on the linearcanonical transform (GWDL) The GWDL algorithm justneeds 1D maximization so the amount of calculations issmaller compared to ML method and LCTAF method Andthe new algorithm only needs fourth-order nonlinearity soit has lower SNR threshold than the PHMT algorithm andPWVDs algorithm The simulation results are provided tosupport the theoretical results

The remainder of this paper is organized as followsSection 2 reviews the preliminaries about the WVD and theLCT In Section 3 some new properties of WDL are deducedand the relationship between WDL and other transforms isinvestigated The GWDL is defined and its application toQFM signal parameter estimation is illustrated in Section 4Finally Section 5 gives the conclusion

where 119865(120596) is the Fourier transform of 119891(119905)The WVD has many important properties such as con-

jugation symmetry property time marginal property andenergy distribution property For more results about theWVD one can refer to [17ndash19]

22 Linear Canonical Transform (LCT) The LCT of a signal119891(119905) with parameter matrix 119860 = (119886 119887 119888 119889) is defined as

Other properties of LCT such as sampling and dis-cretization uncertainty principles product and convolutiontheorems and Hilbert Transform are discussed in detail in[20ndash23]

When the parameter matrix119860 is with some special casesthe LCT reduces to FT FRFT Fresnel transform and scalingoperation [24] So the LCT is the generalization of thesetransforms From (4) we can see that when the parameter119887 = 0 the LCT is a scaling transform operation multiplying alinear frequency modulation signal so we suppose that 119887 = 0

in the following discussion

3 The Wigner-Ville Distribution Based onLinear Canonical Transform

In [16] the authors have defined the WDL according tothe actual needs but they have missed some importantproperties In this section we deduce some new propertiesof WDL and investigate the relationship between WDL andother transforms

31 The Definition of WDL

Definition 1 Keeping the instantaneous autocorrelationfunction 119896119891(119905 120591) unchanged and replacing the kernel func-tion 119890minus119895119908120591 of FT by the kernel function119870119860(119906 120591) of LCT in theWVD definition the WDL is defined as [15]

WD119860119891 (119905 119906) = int+infin

minusinfin119896119891 (119905 120591)119870119860 (119906 120591) 119889120591 (8)

where the 119896119891(119905 120591) is given by (1) and119870119860(119906 120591) is shown by (5)

Obviously when 119860 = (0 1 minus1 0) the LCT reduces to FTAccordingly the WDL reduces to classical WVD

WD119860119891 (119905 119906) = radic1

1198952120587119882119891 (119905 119906) (9)

When 119860 = (cos120572 sin120572 minus sin120572 cos120572)

WD119860119891 (119905 119906) = radic119890minus119895120572119882120572119891 (119905 119906) (10)

From (9) and (10) one can see that the WDL is a gener-alization of WVD based on the Fourier transform and thefractional Fourier transform

We know that some nonbandlimited signals in the clas-sical Fourier domain especially some nonstationary signalsand non-Gaussian signals in the Fourier domain can bebandlimited in the LCT domain [20] The WVD can be seenas a FT of the instantaneous autocorrelation function and theWDL can be seen as a LCT of the instantaneous autocorre-lation function So signals which are nonbandlimited afterWVDmay be bandlimited in the WDL domain and then wecan use bandlimited theory to process this kind of signalsThe traditional nonbandlimited signals processing problemsin the Fourier domain can be solved in the LCT domainThisis one of the reasons why we discuss the WVD based on theLCT

The cross-WVD is the FT of crosscorrelation functionfor 120591 It has more information and making full use of thisinformation can improve signal processing ability So weprovide the definition of the cross-WVD based on the LCThere

Definition 2 The cross-WVD based on LCT of signal 119891(119905)and signal 119892(119905) is defined as

32 Basic Properties of WDL In this subsection some newproperties of WDL which are different from those in [16] areinvestigated and the proofs of some complex properties willbe given in detail All the properties are based on the fact thatthe WDL of 119891(119905) is WD119860119891(119905 119906)

where 119874 119875 119876 isin C 119874 = 0 and Re(119874) ge 0Equation (15) is easy to get so we only prove (16)

119889120591

(18)

So 119874 = minus119895(1198862119887) 119875 = (1199081119887 minus 119906)2119887 + 1205962119905When 119886 = 0 (18) is

120575 (21205962119905119887 + 1205961119887 minus 119906)

(19)

When 119886 = 0 119874 = 0 and the condition Re(119874) ge 0 is metAccording to (24) we can get

WD119860119892(119905) (119905 119906) = radic1

(20)

Then we obtain (16)

Property 3 (scaling property) If 119891(119905) = radic|120582|119891(120582119905) and 120582 = 0then the WDL of 119891(119905) is

4 The QFM Signal Parameter EstimationAlgorithm Based on the Generalized WDL

where the superscript lowast denotes the conjugate and 119870119860(119906 120591)is given by (5) The definition of GWDL in (31) indicates thatthe GWDL has fourth-order nonlinearity Substituting theQFM signal 119891(119905) = 1198600119890

For the discrete QFM signal 119891(119899) the specification of theproposed algorithm is as follows

Step 1 Compute the GWDL of 119891(119899) and search for the peakin the time-119906 frequency plane to get the location information(1198991015840 0) then estimate 1198863 according to (34)

Step 2 Multiply 119891(119899)with 119890minus11989511988631198993

and do CPF for 119891(119899)119890minus11989511988631198993

then estimate 1198862 according to

Figure 1 The GWDL of QFM signal

42 Simulations The parameter estimation algorithm pro-posed above is applied to a QFM signal here The QFMsignal 119891(119905) is considered and its parameter values are setto be 1198600 = 2 1198861 = 1 1198862 = 01 and 1198863 = 001 thesampling interval is Δ = 002 s and the observing timeis 119905 = 20 s Obviously parameter values that we choseabove meet condition (38) Figure 1 indicates the GWDLof 119891(119905) when (119886 119887 119888 119889) = (002 124 0 50) It shows thatthe energy gathers along the line 119906 = 0 Figure 2 is the 119905-amplitude distribution of GWDL Figure 3 is the 119906-amplitudedistribution of GWDL and Figure 4 is the 119905-119906 distributionof QFM signal in the GWDL domain Using the GWDLalgorithm described above we get that the estimate valuesof 1198600 1198861 1198862 and 1198863 are 1198600 = 19059 1198861 = 09415 1198862 =

01020 and 1198863 = 00101 respectively The simulation resultsindicate that the algorithm is accurate and the GWDLapplying to the parameter estimation of the QFM signal isuseful and effective

43 Comparison with Other Methods We know that thedimension of maximization for an algorithm leads to itscomputational complexity and efficiency whereas the nonlin-earity order of an algorithmdetermines its SNR threshold andaccuracy So we compare the proposed method with othermethods in the aspects of the dimension ofmaximization andthe nonlinearity order

The algorithm we proposed above shows that it onlyneeds three times 1Dmaximization for estimating all the fourparameters while the MLmethod requires 3Dmaximizationand the LCTAF method needs 2D maximization So thisalgorithm does not have heavy computational burden and isefficient

The PWVDs method [13] and the PHMT method [14]both need the same dimension of maximization as theproposed method (1D to be exact) but they have sixth-ordernonlinearity which decreases the estimation accuracy andincreases the SNR threshold Our method only has fourth-order nonlinearity so the estimation values aremore accurateand have lower SNR threshold

5 Conclusions

Some theories of the WDL are investigated in this paperWe first derive some new and important properties of theWDL The relationships between WDL and other time-frequency analysis tools are also discussed for instance theLCTAF STFT and WT The research on these theories ofthe WDL lays the foundation for its further application andenriches theoretical systems of the LCT and WVD A fastand precise algorithm based on the generalized WDL forQFM signal parameter estimation is proposed too The newalgorithm only needs 1D maximizations so it does not haveheavy computational burden and is efficient Also the newalgorithm is accurate and has a low SNR threshold becauseof its moderate order of nonlinearity

order of nonlinearity (sixth-order to be exact) and this leadsto high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) threshold Thereforemethods to estimate the QFM signal parameters quickly andaccurately are still an important issue to be solved

In [15 16] Tao et al and Bai et al have defined theWigner-Ville distribution based on linear canonical trans-form (WDL) separately For the WDL Bai has derived someproperties and used them to detect the linear frequencymodulated (LFM) signal The WDL is a new and importantsignal processing tool but they have not discussed theWDL in depth enough In this paper we deduce some newproperties of WDL and investigate the relationship betweenWDL and other transforms We also derive WDLs of somecommon signals In order to estimate QFM signal param-eters we define a new kind of Wigner-Ville distributionmdashthe generalized Wigner-Ville distribution based on the linearcanonical transform (GWDL) The GWDL algorithm justneeds 1D maximization so the amount of calculations issmaller compared to ML method and LCTAF method Andthe new algorithm only needs fourth-order nonlinearity soit has lower SNR threshold than the PHMT algorithm andPWVDs algorithm The simulation results are provided tosupport the theoretical results

The remainder of this paper is organized as followsSection 2 reviews the preliminaries about the WVD and theLCT In Section 3 some new properties of WDL are deducedand the relationship between WDL and other transforms isinvestigated The GWDL is defined and its application toQFM signal parameter estimation is illustrated in Section 4Finally Section 5 gives the conclusion

22 Linear Canonical Transform (LCT) The LCT of a signal119891(119905) with parameter matrix 119860 = (119886 119887 119888 119889) is defined as

Other properties of LCT such as sampling and dis-cretization uncertainty principles product and convolutiontheorems and Hilbert Transform are discussed in detail in[20ndash23]

When the parameter matrix119860 is with some special casesthe LCT reduces to FT FRFT Fresnel transform and scalingoperation [24] So the LCT is the generalization of thesetransforms From (4) we can see that when the parameter119887 = 0 the LCT is a scaling transform operation multiplying alinear frequency modulation signal so we suppose that 119887 = 0

in the following discussion

3 The Wigner-Ville Distribution Based onLinear Canonical Transform

In [16] the authors have defined the WDL according tothe actual needs but they have missed some importantproperties In this section we deduce some new propertiesof WDL and investigate the relationship between WDL andother transforms

31 The Definition of WDL

Definition 1 Keeping the instantaneous autocorrelationfunction 119896119891(119905 120591) unchanged and replacing the kernel func-tion 119890minus119895119908120591 of FT by the kernel function119870119860(119906 120591) of LCT in theWVD definition the WDL is defined as [15]

WD119860119891 (119905 119906) = int+infin

minusinfin119896119891 (119905 120591)119870119860 (119906 120591) 119889120591 (8)

where the 119896119891(119905 120591) is given by (1) and119870119860(119906 120591) is shown by (5)

Obviously when 119860 = (0 1 minus1 0) the LCT reduces to FTAccordingly the WDL reduces to classical WVD

WD119860119891 (119905 119906) = radic1

1198952120587119882119891 (119905 119906) (9)

Journal of Applied Mathematics 3

When 119860 = (cos120572 sin120572 minus sin120572 cos120572)

WD119860119891 (119905 119906) = radic119890minus119895120572119882120572119891 (119905 119906) (10)

From (9) and (10) one can see that the WDL is a gener-alization of WVD based on the Fourier transform and thefractional Fourier transform

We know that some nonbandlimited signals in the clas-sical Fourier domain especially some nonstationary signalsand non-Gaussian signals in the Fourier domain can bebandlimited in the LCT domain [20] The WVD can be seenas a FT of the instantaneous autocorrelation function and theWDL can be seen as a LCT of the instantaneous autocorre-lation function So signals which are nonbandlimited afterWVDmay be bandlimited in the WDL domain and then wecan use bandlimited theory to process this kind of signalsThe traditional nonbandlimited signals processing problemsin the Fourier domain can be solved in the LCT domainThisis one of the reasons why we discuss the WVD based on theLCT

The cross-WVD is the FT of crosscorrelation functionfor 120591 It has more information and making full use of thisinformation can improve signal processing ability So weprovide the definition of the cross-WVD based on the LCThere

Definition 2 The cross-WVD based on LCT of signal 119891(119905)and signal 119892(119905) is defined as

32 Basic Properties of WDL In this subsection some newproperties of WDL which are different from those in [16] areinvestigated and the proofs of some complex properties willbe given in detail All the properties are based on the fact thatthe WDL of 119891(119905) is WD119860119891(119905 119906)

Especially when 119891(119905) = 1 119892(119905) = 1198901198951205961119905+11989512059621199052

where 119874 119875 119876 isin C 119874 = 0 and Re(119874) ge 0Equation (15) is easy to get so we only prove (16)

119889120591

(18)

So 119874 = minus119895(1198862119887) 119875 = (1199081119887 minus 119906)2119887 + 1205962119905When 119886 = 0 (18) is

(19)

When 119886 = 0 119874 = 0 and the condition Re(119874) ge 0 is metAccording to (24) we can get

WD119860119892(119905) (119905 119906) = radic1

331 The Relationship between WDL and the AmbiguityFunction Based on LCT (LCTAF) The LCTAF is defined as[15]

4 The QFM Signal Parameter EstimationAlgorithm Based on the Generalized WDL

41 The Algorithm for the Parameter Estimation of QFMSignal In [16] the authors have used theWDL for estimatingLFM signals but is it appropriate for dealing with QFMsignal Now let us discuss it The QFM signal considered inthis paper confirms themodel119891(119905) = 1198600119890

1198600 is the amplitude and 1198861 1198862 and 1198863 (1198863 = 0) are the phasecoefficients to be determined For the QFM signal its WDLis

where the superscript lowast denotes the conjugate and 119870119860(119906 120591)is given by (5) The definition of GWDL in (31) indicates thatthe GWDL has fourth-order nonlinearity Substituting theQFM signal 119891(119905) = 1198600119890

quadratic for 120591 while the phase of 119896119891(119905 120591) is cubic for 120591 Bythis change we can estimate theQFM signal parameters usingGWDL

For the discrete QFM signal 119891(119899) the specification of theproposed algorithm is as follows

Step 1 Compute the GWDL of 119891(119899) and search for the peakin the time-119906 frequency plane to get the location information(1198991015840 0) then estimate 1198863 according to (34)

Step 2 Multiply 119891(119899)with 119890minus11989511988631198993

and do CPF for 119891(119899)119890minus11989511988631198993

then estimate 1198862 according to

Figure 1 The GWDL of QFM signal

42 Simulations The parameter estimation algorithm pro-posed above is applied to a QFM signal here The QFMsignal 119891(119905) is considered and its parameter values are setto be 1198600 = 2 1198861 = 1 1198862 = 01 and 1198863 = 001 thesampling interval is Δ = 002 s and the observing timeis 119905 = 20 s Obviously parameter values that we choseabove meet condition (38) Figure 1 indicates the GWDLof 119891(119905) when (119886 119887 119888 119889) = (002 124 0 50) It shows thatthe energy gathers along the line 119906 = 0 Figure 2 is the 119905-amplitude distribution of GWDL Figure 3 is the 119906-amplitudedistribution of GWDL and Figure 4 is the 119905-119906 distributionof QFM signal in the GWDL domain Using the GWDLalgorithm described above we get that the estimate valuesof 1198600 1198861 1198862 and 1198863 are 1198600 = 19059 1198861 = 09415 1198862 =

01020 and 1198863 = 00101 respectively The simulation resultsindicate that the algorithm is accurate and the GWDLapplying to the parameter estimation of the QFM signal isuseful and effective

43 Comparison with Other Methods We know that thedimension of maximization for an algorithm leads to itscomputational complexity and efficiency whereas the nonlin-earity order of an algorithmdetermines its SNR threshold andaccuracy So we compare the proposed method with othermethods in the aspects of the dimension ofmaximization andthe nonlinearity order

The algorithm we proposed above shows that it onlyneeds three times 1Dmaximization for estimating all the fourparameters while the MLmethod requires 3Dmaximizationand the LCTAF method needs 2D maximization So thisalgorithm does not have heavy computational burden and isefficient

The PWVDs method [13] and the PHMT method [14]both need the same dimension of maximization as theproposed method (1D to be exact) but they have sixth-ordernonlinearity which decreases the estimation accuracy andincreases the SNR threshold Our method only has fourth-order nonlinearity so the estimation values aremore accurateand have lower SNR threshold

5 Conclusions

Some theories of the WDL are investigated in this paperWe first derive some new and important properties of theWDL The relationships between WDL and other time-frequency analysis tools are also discussed for instance theLCTAF STFT and WT The research on these theories ofthe WDL lays the foundation for its further application andenriches theoretical systems of the LCT and WVD A fastand precise algorithm based on the generalized WDL forQFM signal parameter estimation is proposed too The newalgorithm only needs 1D maximizations so it does not haveheavy computational burden and is efficient Also the newalgorithm is accurate and has a low SNR threshold becauseof its moderate order of nonlinearity

From (9) and (10) one can see that the WDL is a gener-alization of WVD based on the Fourier transform and thefractional Fourier transform

We know that some nonbandlimited signals in the clas-sical Fourier domain especially some nonstationary signalsand non-Gaussian signals in the Fourier domain can bebandlimited in the LCT domain [20] The WVD can be seenas a FT of the instantaneous autocorrelation function and theWDL can be seen as a LCT of the instantaneous autocorre-lation function So signals which are nonbandlimited afterWVDmay be bandlimited in the WDL domain and then wecan use bandlimited theory to process this kind of signalsThe traditional nonbandlimited signals processing problemsin the Fourier domain can be solved in the LCT domainThisis one of the reasons why we discuss the WVD based on theLCT

The cross-WVD is the FT of crosscorrelation functionfor 120591 It has more information and making full use of thisinformation can improve signal processing ability So weprovide the definition of the cross-WVD based on the LCThere

Definition 2 The cross-WVD based on LCT of signal 119891(119905)and signal 119892(119905) is defined as

32 Basic Properties of WDL In this subsection some newproperties of WDL which are different from those in [16] areinvestigated and the proofs of some complex properties willbe given in detail All the properties are based on the fact thatthe WDL of 119891(119905) is WD119860119891(119905 119906)

Property 1 (symmetry and conjugation property) The WDLof signal 119891lowast(minus119905) is

TheWDL of signal 119891(119905 minus 1199050)119890119895120596119905 is

Especially when 119891(119905) = 1 119892(119905) = 1198901198951205961119905+11989512059621199052

where 119874 119875 119876 isin C 119874 = 0 and Re(119874) ge 0Equation (15) is easy to get so we only prove (16)

119889120591

(18)

So 119874 = minus119895(1198862119887) 119875 = (1199081119887 minus 119906)2119887 + 1205962119905When 119886 = 0 (18) is

120575 (21205962119905119887 + 1205961119887 minus 119906)

(19)

When 119886 = 0 119874 = 0 and the condition Re(119874) ge 0 is metAccording to (24) we can get

WD119860119892(119905) (119905 119906) = radic1

Then we obtain (16)

Property 3 (scaling property) If 119891(119905) = radic|120582|119891(120582119905) and 120582 = 0then the WDL of 119891(119905) is

Equation (23) indicates that the WDL is the 2D LCTof LCTAF and two parameter matrixes corresponding tothe kernel function of 2D LCT are reciprocal matrixes Thisindicates that not only classical AF and WVD but also theLCTAF and the WDL have close relationships

4 The QFM Signal Parameter EstimationAlgorithm Based on the Generalized WDL

41 The Algorithm for the Parameter Estimation of QFMSignal In [16] the authors have used theWDL for estimatingLFM signals but is it appropriate for dealing with QFMsignal Now let us discuss it The QFM signal considered inthis paper confirms themodel119891(119905) = 1198600119890

119895(1198861119905+11988621199052+11988631199053) where

1198600 is the amplitude and 1198861 1198862 and 1198863 (1198863 = 0) are the phasecoefficients to be determined For the QFM signal its WDLis

goal We define this new WDL as the generalized Wigner-Ville distribution based on the linear canonical transform(GWDL)

Definition 6 Given 1198961015840119891(119905 120591) = 119891(119905 + 1205912)119891(119905 minus 1205912)119891lowast(minus119905 +

1205912)119891lowast(minus119905 minus 1205912) one defines the GWDL of signal 119891(119905) as

where the superscript lowast denotes the conjugate and 119870119860(119906 120591)is given by (5) The definition of GWDL in (31) indicates thatthe GWDL has fourth-order nonlinearity Substituting theQFM signal 119891(119905) = 1198600119890

quadratic for 120591 while the phase of 119896119891(119905 120591) is cubic for 120591 Bythis change we can estimate theQFM signal parameters usingGWDL

According to (17) it is easy to obtain (32) by (33)

Formula (32) indicates that the GWDL of QFM signalwill generate an impulse at the point (minus11988661198871198863 0) in the (119905 119906)plane and the energy will gather along the line 119906 = 0 Sowe can get the location information (1199051015840 0) of the impulse bysearching the peak According to the formula 1199051015840 = minus11988661198871198863the parameter 1198863 can be estimated as

1198863 = minus119886

For the discrete QFM signal 119891(119899) the specification of theproposed algorithm is as follows

Step 1 Compute the GWDL of 119891(119899) and search for the peakin the time-119906 frequency plane to get the location information(1198991015840 0) then estimate 1198863 according to (34)

Step 2 Multiply 119891(119899)with 119890minus11989511988631198993

and do CPF for 119891(119899)119890minus11989511988631198993

then estimate 1198862 according to

Figure 1 The GWDL of QFM signal

42 Simulations The parameter estimation algorithm pro-posed above is applied to a QFM signal here The QFMsignal 119891(119905) is considered and its parameter values are setto be 1198600 = 2 1198861 = 1 1198862 = 01 and 1198863 = 001 thesampling interval is Δ = 002 s and the observing timeis 119905 = 20 s Obviously parameter values that we choseabove meet condition (38) Figure 1 indicates the GWDLof 119891(119905) when (119886 119887 119888 119889) = (002 124 0 50) It shows thatthe energy gathers along the line 119906 = 0 Figure 2 is the 119905-amplitude distribution of GWDL Figure 3 is the 119906-amplitudedistribution of GWDL and Figure 4 is the 119905-119906 distributionof QFM signal in the GWDL domain Using the GWDLalgorithm described above we get that the estimate valuesof 1198600 1198861 1198862 and 1198863 are 1198600 = 19059 1198861 = 09415 1198862 =

01020 and 1198863 = 00101 respectively The simulation resultsindicate that the algorithm is accurate and the GWDLapplying to the parameter estimation of the QFM signal isuseful and effective

43 Comparison with Other Methods We know that thedimension of maximization for an algorithm leads to itscomputational complexity and efficiency whereas the nonlin-earity order of an algorithmdetermines its SNR threshold andaccuracy So we compare the proposed method with othermethods in the aspects of the dimension ofmaximization andthe nonlinearity order

The algorithm we proposed above shows that it onlyneeds three times 1Dmaximization for estimating all the fourparameters while the MLmethod requires 3Dmaximizationand the LCTAF method needs 2D maximization So thisalgorithm does not have heavy computational burden and isefficient

The PWVDs method [13] and the PHMT method [14]both need the same dimension of maximization as theproposed method (1D to be exact) but they have sixth-ordernonlinearity which decreases the estimation accuracy andincreases the SNR threshold Our method only has fourth-order nonlinearity so the estimation values aremore accurateand have lower SNR threshold

5 Conclusions

Some theories of the WDL are investigated in this paperWe first derive some new and important properties of theWDL The relationships between WDL and other time-frequency analysis tools are also discussed for instance theLCTAF STFT and WT The research on these theories ofthe WDL lays the foundation for its further application andenriches theoretical systems of the LCT and WVD A fastand precise algorithm based on the generalized WDL forQFM signal parameter estimation is proposed too The newalgorithm only needs 1D maximizations so it does not haveheavy computational burden and is efficient Also the newalgorithm is accurate and has a low SNR threshold becauseof its moderate order of nonlinearity

33 The Relationships between WDL and OtherTime-Frequency Analysis Tools

331 The Relationship between WDL and the AmbiguityFunction Based on LCT (LCTAF) The LCTAF is defined as[15]

where 119870119860119860minus1(120591 V 119906 119905) = 119870119860(120591 119906)119870119860minus1(V 119905) is the kernelfunction of 2-D LCT [25]

Equation (23) indicates that the WDL is the 2D LCTof LCTAF and two parameter matrixes corresponding tothe kernel function of 2D LCT are reciprocal matrixes Thisindicates that not only classical AF and WVD but also theLCTAF and the WDL have close relationships

4 The QFM Signal Parameter EstimationAlgorithm Based on the Generalized WDL

41 The Algorithm for the Parameter Estimation of QFMSignal In [16] the authors have used theWDL for estimatingLFM signals but is it appropriate for dealing with QFMsignal Now let us discuss it The QFM signal considered inthis paper confirms themodel119891(119905) = 1198600119890

119895(1198861119905+11988621199052+11988631199053) where

1198600 is the amplitude and 1198861 1198862 and 1198863 (1198863 = 0) are the phasecoefficients to be determined For the QFM signal its WDLis

Formula (30) shows that we cannot get any informationabout phase coefficients so it is difficult to estimate param-eters of QFM signals But we can change the instantaneousautocorrelation function 119896119891(119905 120591) of WDL to achieve this

goal We define this new WDL as the generalized Wigner-Ville distribution based on the linear canonical transform(GWDL)

Definition 6 Given 1198961015840119891(119905 120591) = 119891(119905 + 1205912)119891(119905 minus 1205912)119891lowast(minus119905 +

1205912)119891lowast(minus119905 minus 1205912) one defines the GWDL of signal 119891(119905) as

follows

where the superscript lowast denotes the conjugate and 119870119860(119906 120591)is given by (5) The definition of GWDL in (31) indicates thatthe GWDL has fourth-order nonlinearity Substituting theQFM signal 119891(119905) = 1198600119890

119895(1198861119905+11988621199052+11988631199053) into 1198961015840119891(119905 120591) we obtain

31199051205912) So the phase of 1198961015840119891(119905 120591) is

quadratic for 120591 while the phase of 119896119891(119905 120591) is cubic for 120591 Bythis change we can estimate theQFM signal parameters usingGWDL

According to (17) it is easy to obtain (32) by (33)

Formula (32) indicates that the GWDL of QFM signalwill generate an impulse at the point (minus11988661198871198863 0) in the (119905 119906)plane and the energy will gather along the line 119906 = 0 Sowe can get the location information (1199051015840 0) of the impulse bysearching the peak According to the formula 1199051015840 = minus11988661198871198863the parameter 1198863 can be estimated as

1198863 = minus119886

can be approximated to a LFM signal So other parameterscan be estimated by algorithms for estimating the LFM signalsuch as WDL algorithm [16] FRFT algorithm [26] and thecubic phase function (CPF) algorithm [27] (in Section 42 wechoose the CPF algorithm to estimate the LFM signal)

For the discrete QFM signal 119891(119899) the specification of theproposed algorithm is as follows

Step 1 Compute the GWDL of 119891(119899) and search for the peakin the time-119906 frequency plane to get the location information(1198991015840 0) then estimate 1198863 according to (34)

Step 2 Multiply 119891(119899)with 119890minus11989511988631198993

and do CPF for 119891(119899)119890minus11989511988631198993

then estimate 1198862 according to

1198862 =argmaxΩ |CPF (119899 Ω)|

where CPF(119899 Ω) is the CPF of 119891(119899)119890minus11989511988631198993

Figure 1 The GWDL of QFM signal

42 Simulations The parameter estimation algorithm pro-posed above is applied to a QFM signal here The QFMsignal 119891(119905) is considered and its parameter values are setto be 1198600 = 2 1198861 = 1 1198862 = 01 and 1198863 = 001 thesampling interval is Δ = 002 s and the observing timeis 119905 = 20 s Obviously parameter values that we choseabove meet condition (38) Figure 1 indicates the GWDLof 119891(119905) when (119886 119887 119888 119889) = (002 124 0 50) It shows thatthe energy gathers along the line 119906 = 0 Figure 2 is the 119905-amplitude distribution of GWDL Figure 3 is the 119906-amplitudedistribution of GWDL and Figure 4 is the 119905-119906 distributionof QFM signal in the GWDL domain Using the GWDLalgorithm described above we get that the estimate valuesof 1198600 1198861 1198862 and 1198863 are 1198600 = 19059 1198861 = 09415 1198862 =

01020 and 1198863 = 00101 respectively The simulation resultsindicate that the algorithm is accurate and the GWDLapplying to the parameter estimation of the QFM signal isuseful and effective

43 Comparison with Other Methods We know that thedimension of maximization for an algorithm leads to itscomputational complexity and efficiency whereas the nonlin-earity order of an algorithmdetermines its SNR threshold andaccuracy So we compare the proposed method with othermethods in the aspects of the dimension ofmaximization andthe nonlinearity order

The algorithm we proposed above shows that it onlyneeds three times 1Dmaximization for estimating all the fourparameters while the MLmethod requires 3Dmaximizationand the LCTAF method needs 2D maximization So thisalgorithm does not have heavy computational burden and isefficient

The PWVDs method [13] and the PHMT method [14]both need the same dimension of maximization as theproposed method (1D to be exact) but they have sixth-ordernonlinearity which decreases the estimation accuracy andincreases the SNR threshold Our method only has fourth-order nonlinearity so the estimation values aremore accurateand have lower SNR threshold

5 Conclusions

Some theories of the WDL are investigated in this paperWe first derive some new and important properties of theWDL The relationships between WDL and other time-frequency analysis tools are also discussed for instance theLCTAF STFT and WT The research on these theories ofthe WDL lays the foundation for its further application andenriches theoretical systems of the LCT and WVD A fastand precise algorithm based on the generalized WDL forQFM signal parameter estimation is proposed too The newalgorithm only needs 1D maximizations so it does not haveheavy computational burden and is efficient Also the newalgorithm is accurate and has a low SNR threshold becauseof its moderate order of nonlinearity

goal We define this new WDL as the generalized Wigner-Ville distribution based on the linear canonical transform(GWDL)

Definition 6 Given 1198961015840119891(119905 120591) = 119891(119905 + 1205912)119891(119905 minus 1205912)119891lowast(minus119905 +

1205912)119891lowast(minus119905 minus 1205912) one defines the GWDL of signal 119891(119905) as

follows

where the superscript lowast denotes the conjugate and 119870119860(119906 120591)is given by (5) The definition of GWDL in (31) indicates thatthe GWDL has fourth-order nonlinearity Substituting theQFM signal 119891(119905) = 1198600119890

119895(1198861119905+11988621199052+11988631199053) into 1198961015840119891(119905 120591) we obtain

31199051205912) So the phase of 1198961015840119891(119905 120591) is

quadratic for 120591 while the phase of 119896119891(119905 120591) is cubic for 120591 Bythis change we can estimate theQFM signal parameters usingGWDL

According to (17) it is easy to obtain (32) by (33)

Formula (32) indicates that the GWDL of QFM signalwill generate an impulse at the point (minus11988661198871198863 0) in the (119905 119906)plane and the energy will gather along the line 119906 = 0 Sowe can get the location information (1199051015840 0) of the impulse bysearching the peak According to the formula 1199051015840 = minus11988661198871198863the parameter 1198863 can be estimated as

1198863 = minus119886

For the discrete QFM signal 119891(119899) the specification of theproposed algorithm is as follows

Step 1 Compute the GWDL of 119891(119899) and search for the peakin the time-119906 frequency plane to get the location information(1198991015840 0) then estimate 1198863 according to (34)

Step 2 Multiply 119891(119899)with 119890minus11989511988631198993

and do CPF for 119891(119899)119890minus11989511988631198993

then estimate 1198862 according to

1198862 =argmaxΩ |CPF (119899 Ω)|

where CPF(119899 Ω) is the CPF of 119891(119899)119890minus11989511988631198993

42 Simulations The parameter estimation algorithm pro-posed above is applied to a QFM signal here The QFMsignal 119891(119905) is considered and its parameter values are setto be 1198600 = 2 1198861 = 1 1198862 = 01 and 1198863 = 001 thesampling interval is Δ = 002 s and the observing timeis 119905 = 20 s Obviously parameter values that we choseabove meet condition (38) Figure 1 indicates the GWDLof 119891(119905) when (119886 119887 119888 119889) = (002 124 0 50) It shows thatthe energy gathers along the line 119906 = 0 Figure 2 is the 119905-amplitude distribution of GWDL Figure 3 is the 119906-amplitudedistribution of GWDL and Figure 4 is the 119905-119906 distributionof QFM signal in the GWDL domain Using the GWDLalgorithm described above we get that the estimate valuesof 1198600 1198861 1198862 and 1198863 are 1198600 = 19059 1198861 = 09415 1198862 =

01020 and 1198863 = 00101 respectively The simulation resultsindicate that the algorithm is accurate and the GWDLapplying to the parameter estimation of the QFM signal isuseful and effective

43 Comparison with Other Methods We know that thedimension of maximization for an algorithm leads to itscomputational complexity and efficiency whereas the nonlin-earity order of an algorithmdetermines its SNR threshold andaccuracy So we compare the proposed method with othermethods in the aspects of the dimension ofmaximization andthe nonlinearity order

The algorithm we proposed above shows that it onlyneeds three times 1Dmaximization for estimating all the fourparameters while the MLmethod requires 3Dmaximizationand the LCTAF method needs 2D maximization So thisalgorithm does not have heavy computational burden and isefficient

The PWVDs method [13] and the PHMT method [14]both need the same dimension of maximization as theproposed method (1D to be exact) but they have sixth-ordernonlinearity which decreases the estimation accuracy andincreases the SNR threshold Our method only has fourth-order nonlinearity so the estimation values aremore accurateand have lower SNR threshold

5 Conclusions

Some theories of the WDL are investigated in this paperWe first derive some new and important properties of theWDL The relationships between WDL and other time-frequency analysis tools are also discussed for instance theLCTAF STFT and WT The research on these theories ofthe WDL lays the foundation for its further application andenriches theoretical systems of the LCT and WVD A fastand precise algorithm based on the generalized WDL forQFM signal parameter estimation is proposed too The newalgorithm only needs 1D maximizations so it does not haveheavy computational burden and is efficient Also the newalgorithm is accurate and has a low SNR threshold becauseof its moderate order of nonlinearity
