Uncertainty principles for the windowed offset linear canonical transform

The windowed offset linear canonical transform (WOLCT) can be identified as a generalization of the windowed linear canonical transform (WLCT). In this paper, we generalize several different uncertainty principles for the WOLCT, including Heisenberg uncertainty principle, Hardy’s uncertainty principle, Donoho–Stark’s uncertainty principle and Nazarov’s uncertainty principle. Finally, as application analogues of the Poisson summation formula and sampling formulas are given.
