    TITLE={Implementation and Evaluation of the {Vandermonde} Transform},
    BOOKTITLE=eusipco,
    ADDRESS={Lisbon, Portugal},

    KEYWORDS={time-frequency transforms, decorrelation, Vandermonde matrix, Toeplitz
    matrix, speech and audio processing},
    ABSTRACT={We have recently presented a time-frequency transform, the Vandermonde
    transform, which simultaneously decorrelates the input signal and provides
    a frequency-domain representation thereof. While the discrete Fourier
    transform also provides a frequency-domain representation, its
    decorrelating performance is only approximate. Although this is good enough
    for many applications, in applications which require relatively short
    windows, such as speech and audio processing, the penalty due to the
    approximate decorrelation limits overall performance. This paper focuses on
    the practical implementation of the Vandermonde transform. Our purpose is
    to provide a short review of state-of-the-art methods, a step-by-step
    instructions for implementation and an evaluation of the performance.}
