Sensing Fractional Power Spectrum of Nonstationary Signals with Coprime Filter Banks by Xiaomin Li, Huali Wang, Wanghan Lv, Haichao Luo

“…Firstly, the fractional power spectrum of the chirp-stationary signals which are nonstationary in the FD can be sensed effectively by the coprime DFrFT filter banks because of the linear time-invariant (LTI) property of the proposed system in discrete-time Fourier domain (DTFD), while the coprime DFT filter banks can only sense the power spectrum of the WSS signals. …”
