We study a class of quadratic time-frequency representations that, roughly speaking, are obtained by linear perturbations of the Wigner transform. They satisfy Moyal's formula by default and share many other properties with the Wigner transform, but in general they do not belong to Cohen's class. We provide a characterization of the intersection of the two classes. To any such time-frequency representation, we associate a pseudodifferential calculus. We investigate the related quantization procedure, study the properties of the pseudodifferential operators, and compare the formalism with that of the Weyl calculus.The group of invertible, real-valued 2d × 2d matrices is denoted byand we denote the transpose of an inverse matrix byLet J denote the canonical symplectic matrix in R 2d , namelyObserve that, for z = (z 1 , z 2 ) ∈ R 2d , we have Jz = J (z 1 , z 2 ) = (z 2 , −z 1 ) , J −1 z = J −1 (z 1 , z 2 ) = (−z 2 , z 1 ) = −Jz, and J 2 = −I 2d×2d .
Function spacesRecall that C 0 (R d ) denotes the class of continuous functions on R d vanishing at infinity. Modulation spaces. Fix a non-zero window g ∈ S(R d ) and 1 ≤ p, q ≤ ∞., (with obvious modifications for p = ∞ or q = ∞). If p = q, we write M p instead of M p, p .
