Relation between Quaternion Fourier Transform and Quaternion Wigner-Ville Distribution Associated with Linear Canonical Transform

[摘要] The quaternion Wigner-Ville distribution associated with linear canonical transform (QWVD-LCT) is a nontrivial generalization of the quaternion Wigner-Ville distribution to the linear canonical transform (LCT) domain. In the present paper, we establish a fundamental relationship between the QWVD-LCT and the quaternion Fourier transform (QFT). Based on this fact, we provide alternative proof of the well-known properties of the QWVD-LCT such as inversion formula and Moyal formula. We also discuss in detail the relationship among the QWVD-LCT and other generalized transforms. Finally, based on the basic relation between the quaternion ambiguity function associated with the linear canonical transform (QAF-LCT) and the QFT, we present some important properties of the QAF-LCT.
