We develop a theory for constructing discrete quadratic time-frequency distributions using operator theory methods. The discrete methods give us additional insight into the discrete case in particular, rather than forcing us to infer from the continuous case. We prove that, even in the discrete case, spectrograms are the only positive quadratic time-frequency distributions.
