A
adaptive filter
A type of filter that operates on a recursive algorithm to achieve the goal of
optimum. It is self-designing and suitable for tracking time variations of the
input signal, but complete knowledge of the relevant signal characteristics
is not available.
aliasing
A phenomenon in which an analog signal of a frequency greater than half
the sampling frequency, or Nyquist frequency, appears after sampling at a
frequency less than half the sampling frequency.

anti-aliasing filter
Analog lowpass filters used before analog-to-digital conversion to filter out
the frequencies greater than half the sampling frequency.

shift step. In critical sampling, the number of Gabor coefficients

dual functions
Pair of window functions for Gabor transform and Gabor expansion. The
two dual functions are interchangeable. That is, you can use either of the
dual functions for a Gabor transform while using the other dual function for
a Gabor expansion.
