Adaptive Short-Time Fractional Fourier Transform Based on Minimum Information Entropy

Traditional short-time fractional Fourier transform (STFrFT) has a single and fixed window function, which can not be adjusted adaptively according to the characteristics of frequency and frequency change rate. In order to overcome the shortcomings, the STFrFT method with adaptive window function is proposed. In this method, the window function of STFrFT is adaptively adjusted by establishing a library containing multiple window functions and taking the minimum information entropy as the criterion, so as to obtain a time-frequency distribution that better matches the desired signal. This method takes into account the time-frequency resolution characteristics of STFrFT and the excellent characteristics of adaptive adjustment to window function, improves the time-frequency aggregation on the basis of eliminating cross term interference, and provides a new tool for improving the time-frequency analysis ability of complex modulated signals.
