A chapter in Fourier Techniques and Applications, 1985, pp 25-44 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this lecture I will be dealing with two separate topics both of which are important for a wide range of applications of Fourier analysis. The first is that of uncertainty. Roughly speaking, it says that the more we concentrate a signal in time, the greater is its bandwidth, and vice versa. (The first explicit statement of this reciprocity is in the mathematics of the quantum mechanical uncertainty principle of Heisenberg, and so the name “uncertainty” is usually applied to all results of this nature.)
