Abstract
Fractional Fourier transformed bandlimited signals are shown to form a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Basic properties of the kernel function are applied to the study of a sampling problem in the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) domain. An orthogonal sampling basis for the class of bandlimited signals in the FRFT domain is then given. A nonuniform sampling theorem for bandlimited signals in the FRFT domain is also presented. Numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed nonuniform sampling theorem.
