A distribution space for Hilbert transform and its applications

In this paper, a new distribution space is constructed and the definition of the classical Hilbert transform is extended to it. It is shown that is the biggest subspace of on which the extended Hilbert transform is a homeomorphism and both the classical Hilbert transform for L ^p functions and the circular Hilbert transform for periodic functions are special cases of the extension. Some characterizations of the space are given and a class of useful nonlinear phase signals is shown to be in . Finally, the applications of the extended Hilbert transform are discussed.
