Summary: 
The discrete-time short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is known as a useful tool for analyzing and synthesizing signals. This paper introduces an extention of the well-known STFT to a general form which is more suitable for high resolutional signal analysis. A channel frequency division scheme is developed for realizing arbitrary bandwidth and center frequency so as to improve resolution performance. It is based on a nonuniform filter bank structure with integer decimation and interpolation factors. A design example of the generalized STFT using symmetric windows is given.
