Abstract
This paper provides new sufficient and necessary conditions for the frame property of generalized translation-invariant systems. The conditions are formulated in the Fourier domain and consist of estimates involving the upper and lower frame bound. In contrast to known conditions of a similar nature, the estimates take the phase of the generating functions into consideration and not only their modulus. The possibility of phase cancellations makes these estimates optimal for tight frames. The results on generalized translation-invariant systems will be proved in the setting of locally compact abelian groups, but even for Euclidean space and the special case of wavelet and shearlet systems the results are new.
