 We can see that wavelets allow us to localise to particular regions of our function $f$ by translating and dilating $\psi$ with $a$ and $b$. To understand how this localisation relates to the uncertainty principle, consider the orthonormal wavelet $\phi(x) = \chi_{[p,q]}(x)e^{2\pi inx}$ , where $p,q \in \mathbb{R}$ and $p \leq q$. We construct the family of wavelets by:
 $$\chi_{[p,q]}^{k} = \chi{[p+k(q-p), q+k(q-p)]}$$
-for $k \in \mathbb{Z}$. So we use the notation: $$\phi_{k,n} = \chi_{[p,q]}^k e^{2\pi inx}$$ Note that indeed: $\langle\phi_{k,n}, \phi_{l,m} \rangle = \delta_{kl}\delta_{nm}$. By
