High spectral resolution time-frequency distribution kernels

A new class of time-frequency distribution (TFD) kernels is introduced. Members in this class satisfy the desirable TFD properties and simultaneously provide local autocorrelation functions (LAF) that are amenable to high-frequency resolution modeling techniques. It is shown that members of the proposed class are product kernels, fast implementation multiplication-free kernels, recursive kernels, and optimum kernels with respect to autoterm localization.
