Abstract. Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space with inner product $\inpro{\cdot, \cdot}$. We say a set $\{f_k : k \in \Z\}$ is a (fundamental) frame for $H$ if there exist $A, B > 0$ such that for each $f \in H$,

\begin{displaymath} A \norm{f}_H^2 \leq \sum_{n \in \Z}{\abs{\left\langle f, f_k \right\rangle}^2} \leq B \norm{f}_H^2. \end{displaymath} (1)

In case $\{f_k : k \in \Z\}$ is a frame for the subspace $\overline{span}\{f_k : k \in \Z\} $, we say that $\{f_k : k \in \Z\}$ is a frame sequence.

A Weyl-Heisenberg frame sequence is a frame sequence which is generated by translated and modulated versions of $L_2$-functions.

In this paper, we characterize Weyl-Heisenberg frame sequences using infinite Hermitian matrices and obtain the optimal frame bounds in terms of the operator norms of these matrices. This work is inspired by a paper by Casazza and Christensen, where sufficient conditions for a Weyl-Heisenberg system to be a frame sequence are studied.
