The family of functions include the quadratic phase function, which is also called the two-sided complex chirp. It is proven using contour integrals on the complex plane that the Laplace transforms of these functions are also complex valued quadratic exponents; the region of convergence of the Laplace transform include the entire s -plane for finite |s| for a range of values of the defining parameter of the family. Fourier transforms are also presented as the special cases of the Laplace transform.EnglishLaplace transformQuadratic phase functionTwo-sided chirpArticle10.1109/TCSII.2022.31895911558-3791
