"On the one side, the book seems to be dedicated to theory-interested specialists in the area of harmonic analysis, on the other side the last chapter shows that highly theoretical constructs can efficiently be used in modern applications." -Simulation News Europe "[The book], devoted to the subject of time-frequency representation, shows that there are still many interesting and useful aspects of Gabor analysis, in particular, in the discrete setting." -Zentralblatt Math
