Uncertainty Principle and Phase–Amplitude Analysis of Signals on the Unit Sphere

This paper is devoted to studying uncertainty principle of Heisenberg type for signals on the unit sphere in the Clifford algebra setting. In the Clifford algebra setting we propose two forms of uncertainty principle for spherical signals, of which both correspond to the strongest form of uncertainty principle for periodic signals. The lower-bounds of the proven uncertainty principles are in terms of a scalar-valued phase derivative.
