Gabor pairs, and a discrete approach to wave-front sets

We introduce admissible lattices and Gabor pairs to define discrete versions of wave-front sets with respect to Fourier–Lebesgue and modulation spaces. We prove that these wave-front sets agree with each other and with corresponding wave-front sets of “continuous type”. This implies that the coefficients of a Gabor frame expansion of f are parameter dependent, and describe the wave-front set of f.
