Abstract
Motivated by a host of recent applications requiring some amount of redundancy, frames are becoming a standard tool in the signal processing toolbox. In this paper, we study a specific class of frames, known as discrete Fourier transform (DFT) codes, and introduce the notion of systematic frames for this class. This is encouraged by a new application of frames, namely, distributed source coding that uses DFT codes for compression. Studying their extreme eigenvalues, we show that, unlike DFT frames, systematic DFT frames are not necessarily tight. Then, we come up with conditions for which these frames can be tight. In either case, the best and worst systematic frames are established in the minimum mean-squared reconstruction error sense. Eigenvalues of DFT frames and their subframes play a pivotal role in this work. Particularly, we derive some bounds on the extreme eigenvalues DFT subframes which are used to prove most of the results; these bounds are valuable independently.
