Wilson frames for ℂL with general lattices

In digital signal and image processing one can only process discrete signals of finite length, and the space [Formula: see text] is the preferred setting. Recently, Kutyniok and Strohmer constructed orthonormal Wilson bases for [Formula: see text] with general lattices of volume [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] even). In this paper, we extend this construction to Wilson frames for [Formula: see text] with general lattices of volume [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for two sequences having Wilson structure to be dual frames for [Formula: see text]. When the window function satisfies some symmetry property, we obtain a characterization of a Wilson system to be a tight frame for [Formula: see text], show that a Wilson frame for [Formula: see text] can be derived from the underlying Gabor frame, and that the dual frame having Wilson structure can also be derived from the canonical Gabor dual of the underlying Gabor frame.
