Gabor Function


A Gabor function is a sinusoidal carrier multiplied by a Gaussian envelope, commonly written g(x)=exp(-x^2/(2sigma^2))exp(2piixix). Its translations and modulations generate Gabor systems used for localized time-frequency analysis. The Fourier transform of a Gabor function is another shifted Gaussian.
