Characterization and Construction of Pairwise Orthogonal Parseval Frames with Applications to Sampling

In this paper, we provide a characterization of pairwise orthogonal frames with generalized translation-invariant (GTI) structures, based on the unconditional convergence property (UCP).

These GTI systems are generated by translating functions over a countable family of closed, co-compact subgroups of a locally compact abelian (LCA) group $G$, where the families of subgroups associated with each system may differ.

As an application of this characterization, we establish necessary and sufficient criteria for the orthogonality of various structured systems, including Gabor, wavelet, and shearlet systems on LCA groups.

Furthermore, we derive a characterization of GTI Parseval (tight) frames and present explicit constructions of pairs of GTI systems using filters.

Each constructed system satisfies the $\infty$-UCP and admits a Calderón sum equal to one.

As a consequence of these results, the constructed systems form Parseval frames and are pairwise orthogonal.

The proposed construction improves upon the technique in \cite{RGS} by relaxing the stationary assumption on the families of subgroups.

Finally, we illustrate the results with examples using $B$-splines as generating functions and discuss applications of pairwise orthogonal frames in sampling theory.
