| has gloss | eng: The Wigner distribution function (WDF), named after Eugene Wigner, was first proposed for corrections to classical statistical mechanics in 1932 by Eugene Wigner, cf. Wigner quasi-probability distribution. But it may also usefully serve as a transform in time-frequency analysis. Compared to a short-time Fourier transform, such as the Gabor transform, the Wigner distribution function can furnish higher clarity in some cases. Furthermore, the Wigner distribution function has many properties that other time-frequency analysis transforms have. |
