RATIONAL TIME-FREQUENCY VECTOR-VALUED SUBSPACE GABOR FRAMES AND BALIAN-LOW THEOREM

Abstract

This paper addresses vector-valued subspace Gabor frames with rational time-frequency product. By introduction of a suitable Zak transform matrix, we characterize vector-valued subspace Gabor frames, Riesz bases and orthonormal bases. We characterize the uniqueness of Gabor duals of type I and type II. Using the uniqueness results, we extend the classical Balian-Low theorem to vector-valued subspace Gabor frames. We also point out Ron-Shen duality principe does not hold for a general vector-valued subspace Gabor frame.
