It is rather unexpected, but true, that it is possible to construct reproducing formulae and orthonormal bases of L-2(R-2) just by applying the standard onedimensional wavelet action of translations and dilations to the first variable x(1) of the generating function psi(x(1), x(2)), psi is an element of L-2(R-2), i.e., by making use of building blocks
psi(u,s) (x(1), x(2)) = s(-1/2)(x(1)-u/s, x(2)), where u is an element of R, s > 0,
in the case of reproducing formulae, and
psi(k,m) (x(1),x(2)) = 2(-k/2)psi(x(1)-2(k)m/2(k),x(2)), where k, m is an element of Z,
in the case of orthonormal bases. It is possible to compensate the fact that the second variable x(2) is not acted upon by a careful selection of the generating function psi. Shannon wavelet tiling of the time-frequency plane R-2 is a standard illustration of orthogonality and completeness phenomena corresponding to the Shannon wavelet,
chi(2(k)m,2(k)(m+1)]((x))chi(2)-k(I)(xi), k, m is an element of Z, I = -(1/2, 1] boolean OR (1/2,1],
with x representing time and xi frequency. In our current context, of the wavelet action restricted to the first coordinate of R-2, it is substituted by a phase space tiling of R-4 with unbounded, hyperboloid type blocks of the form
chi(2(k)m,2(k)(m+1)]((x1)) Sigma(n,l) chi(2)-k(ID(n,l))((xi 1))chi(n, n+1]((x2))chi(l,l+1]((xi 2)), k, m is an element of Z,
where I-r = 2(-r) I, r >= 1, and D:Z x Z -> N is a bijection, an additional parameter of the generating function, needed for the lift from L-2(R) to L-2(R-2). The variables x(1), x(2) are the coordinates of position, and the variables xi(1),xi(2) of momentum.
