Quantum entangled fractional Fourier transform based on the IWOP technique

In our previous papers,the classical fractional Fourier transform theory was incorporated into the quantum theoretical system using the theoretical method of quantum optics,and the calculation produced quantum mechanical operators corresponding to the generation of fractional Fourier transform.The core function of the coordinate-momentum exchange operators in the addition law of fractional Fourier transform was analyzed too.In this paper,the bivariate operator Hermite polynomial theory and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators(IWOP)are used to establish the entanglement fractional Fourier transform theory to the extent of quantum.A new function generating formula and an operator for generating quantum entangled fractional Fourier transform are obtained using the fractional Fourier transform relationship in a pair of conjugated entangled state representations.

Chirp-Rate Resolution of Fractional Fourier Transform in Multi-component LFM Signal

Distinguishing close chirp-rates of different linear frequency modulation (LFM) signals under concentrated and complicated signal environment was studied. Firstly, detection and parameter estimation of multi-component LFM signal were used by discrete fast fractional Fourier transform (FrFT). Then the expression of chirp-rate resolution in fractional Fourier domain (FrFD) was deduced from discrete normalize time-frequency distribution, when multi-component LFM signal had only one center frequency. Furthermore, the detail influence of the sampling time, sampling frequency and chirp-rate upon the resolution was analyzed by partial differential equation. Simulation results and analysis indicate that increasing the sampling time can enhance the resolution, but the influence of the sampling frequency can be omitted. What’s more, in multi-component LFM signal, the chirp-rate resolution of FrFT is no less than a minimal value, and it mainly dependent on the biggest value of chirp-rates, with which it has an approximately positive exponential relationship.

Order selection in fractional Fourier transform based beamforming

Traditionally,beamforming using fractional Fourier transform(FrFT) involves a trial-and-error based FrFT order selection which is impractical.A new numerical order selection scheme is presented based on fractional power spectra(FrFT moment) of the linear chirp signal.This method can adaptively determine the optimum FrFT order by maximizing the second-order central FrFT moment.This makes the desired chirp signal substantially concentrated whereas the noise is rejected considerably.This improves the mean square error minimization beamformer by reducing effectively the signal-noise cross terms due to the finite data length de-correlation operation.Simulation results show that the new method works well under a wide range of signal to noise ratio and signal to interference ratio.

INTERFERENCE MITIGATING BASED ON FRACTIONAL FOURIER TRANSFORM IN TRANSFORM DOMAIN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

The method of FRactional Fourier Transform (FRFT) is introduced to Transform Domain Communication System (TDCS) for signal transforming in the paper after theoretical analysis. The method yields optimal Basis Function (BF) by FRFT with optimal transform angle. The TDCS using the proposed method has wider usable spectrum, stronger robustness and better ability of anti non-stationary jamming than using usual methods, such as Fourier Transform (FT), Auto Regressive (AR), Wavelet Transform (WT), etc. The main simulation results are as follows. First, the Bit Error Rate (BER) Pb is close to theoretical bound of no jamming no matter in single tone or in linear chirp interference. Second, the interference-to-signal ratio J /E is at least 12dB more than that of Direct Spread Spectrum System (DSSS) under the same BER if the spectrum hopping-to-signal ratio is 1:20 in chirp plus hopping interfering. Third, the Eb /N 0(when estimation difference is 90% between trans- mitter and receiver) is about 3.5dB or about 0.5dB (when estimation difference is 10% between transmitter and receiver) more than that of theoretical result when no estimation difference un-der Pb=10-2.

Research Progress of the Sampling Theorem Associated with the Fractional Fourier Transform

Sampling is a bridge between continuous-time and discrete-time signals,which is import-ant to digital signal processing.The fractional Fourier transform(FrFT)that serves as a generaliz-ation of the FT can characterize signals in multiple fractional Fourier domains,and therefore can provide new perspectives for signal sampling and reconstruction.In this paper,we review recent de-velopments of the sampling theorem associated with the FrFT,including signal reconstruction and fractional spectral analysis of uniform sampling,nonuniform samplings due to various factors,and sub-Nyquist sampling,where bandlimited signals in the fractional Fourier domain are mainly taken into consideration.Moreover,we provide several future research topics of the sampling theorem as-sociated with the FrFT.

New Eigenmodes of Propagation in Quadratic Graded Index Media and Complex Fractional Fourier Transform

By introducing a convenient complex form of the α-th 2-dimensional fractional Fourier transform (CFFT) operation we find that it possesses new eigenmodes which are two-mode Hermite polynomials. We prove the eigenvalues of propagation in quadratic graded-index medium over a definite distance are the same as the eigenvalues of the α-th CFFT, which means that our definition of the α-th CFFT is physically meaningful.

Novel uncertainty relations associated with fractional Fourier transform

In this paper the relations between two spreads, between two group delays, and between one spread and one group delay in fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) domains, are presented and three theorems on the uncertainty principle in FRFT domains are also developed. Theorem 1 gives the bounds of two spreads in two FRFT domains. Theorem 2 shows the uncertainty relation between two group delays in two FRFT domains. Theorem 3 presents the crossed uncertainty relation between one group delay and one spread in two FRFT domains. The novelty of their results lies in connecting the products of different physical measures and giving their physical interpretations. The existing uncertainty principle in the FRFT domain is only a special case of theorem 1, and the conventional uncertainty principle in time-frequency domains is a special case of their results. Therefore, three theorems develop the relations of two spreads in time-frequency domains into the relations between two spreads, between two group delays, and between one spread and one group delay in FRFT domains.

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 fre-quency 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 ad-aptively 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 func-tion,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 sig-nals.

From fractional Fourier transformation to quantum mechanical fractional squeezing transformation

By converting the triangular functions in the integration kernel of the fractional Fourier transformation to the hyperbolic function,i.e.,tan α→ tanh α,sin α→> sinh α,we find the quantum mechanical fractional squeezing transformation(FrST) which satisfies additivity.By virtue of the integration technique within the ordered product of operators(IWOP) we derive the unitary operator responsible for the FrST,which is composite and is made of e^(iπa^+a/2) and exp[iα/2(a^2 +a^(+2)).The FrST may be implemented in combinations of quadratic nonlinear crystals with different phase mismatches.

Rejection of Linear FM Interference in DSSS System Based on Fractional Fourier Transform

A new method for the rejection of linear frequency modulation (LFM) interference in direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) system based on the fractional Fourier transform is proposed, and the configuration of the receiver with an interference exciser is also presented. Based on the property that the fractional Fourier transform of a signal is equivalent to rotating the signal in the time-frequency plane, the received signal is transform into a certain fractional Fourier domain, this transform will result in the least spectrum overlap between the signal and interference. Then, a narrowband filter is exploited to extract most of the interference energy. The performance analyses show that remarkable improvements in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and bit-error-ratio (BER) are obtained.

Fractional Fourier Transformation for Quantum Mechanical Wave Functions Studied by Virtue of IWOP Technique

Starting from the optical fractional Fourier transform (FFT) and using the technique of integration withinan ordered product of operators we establish a formalism of FFT for quantum mechanical wave functions. In doing so, theessence of FFT can be seen more clearly, and the FFT of some wave functions can be derived more directly and concisely.We also point out that different FFT integral kernels correspond to different quantum mechanical representations. Theyare generalized FFT. The relationship between the FFT and the rotated Wigner operator is studied by virtue of theWeyl ordered form of the Wigner operator.

Generalized Parseval’s Theorem on Fractional Fourier Transform for Discrete Signals and Filtering of LFM Signals

This paper investigates the generalized Parseval’s theorem of fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) for concentrated data. Also, in the framework of multiple FRFT domains, Parseval’s theorem reduces to an inequality with lower and upper bounds associated with FRFT parameters, named as generalized Parseval’s theorem by us. These results theoretically provide potential valuable applications in filtering, and examples of filtering for LFM signals in FRFT domains are demonstrated to support the derived conclusions.

8-Weighted-Type Fractional Fourier Transform Based Three-Branch Transmission Method

To improve the bit error rate(BER) performance of multiple input multiple output(MIMO) systems with low complexity, a three-branch transmission scheme employing 8-weighted-type fractional Fourier transform(8-WFRFT) module is proposed. In the proposed scheme, the original signal is first decomposed into eight sub-signals and then merged into three component signals by the same carrier pattern. The three signals have mathematical constraint relations among themselves that can counteract the channel fading. They are simultaneously transmitted via three independent antennas after delay regulating. At the receiver, an inverse 8-WFRFT module is employed to obtain the estimated original signal by processing the received signal. Then, the bit error rate(BER) performance, transmitting power, transmission rate, power spectrum and computational complexity of the proposed scheme are analysed in detail. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme has a superior performance compared to STBC based three-antenna transmission scheme, in terms of BER performance.
