Abstract

Given the moments of a time-frequency distribution, one can, in principle, construct the characteristic function from which one then obtains the distribution by Fourier transformation. However, often one can not find a closed form for the characteristic function and hence one can not obtain the distribution in a direct manner. We formulate the problem of constructing time-frequency representations from moments without first constructing the characteristic function. Our method is based on expanding the distribution in terms of a complete set of functions where the expansion coeficients are dependent directly on the moments. We apply the method to a case where the even moments are manifestly positive which is a necessary condition for obtaining a proper time-frequency representation.
