Synthesis of general linear systems with repeated filtering in consecutive fractional Fourier domains

Erden, M. F.Özaktaş, Haldun M.2015-07-282015-07-2819981084-7529http://hdl.handle.net/11693/10916The optical and digital implementations of general linear systems are costly. Through several examples we show that either exact realizations or useful approximations of these systems may be implemented in the form of repeated-filtering operations in consecutive fractional Fourier domains. These implementations are much cheaper than direct implementations of general linear systems. Thus we may significantly decrease the implementation costs of general linear systems with little or no decrease in performance by synthesizing them with the proposed repeated-filtering method.
