Abstract
We construct the wideband ambiguity function for signals represented by their fractional Fourier transforms. Because the reflected signal must be represented as a Doppler scaled version of the transmitted signal, this wideband form of ambiguity does not enjoy many of the same properties as the narrowband form (which is formed from a Doppler shifted version of the signal). We present the general result and also examine an approximation appropriate to wideband signals reflected from slowly moving targets.
