Radon transformation of time-frequency distributions for analysis of multicomponent signals

The Radon transform of a time-frequency distribution produces local areas of signal concentration that facilitate interpretation of multicomponent signals. The Radon transform can be efficiently implemented with dechirping in the time domains; however, only half of the possible projections through the time-frequency plane can be realized because of aliasing. It is shown that the frequency dual to dechirping exists, so that all of the time-frequency plane projections can be calculated efficiently. Some Radon transforms of Wigner distributions are demonstrated
