In [[signal processing]], the '''chirplet transform''' is an [[inner product]] of an input signal with a family of analysis primitives called '''chirplets'''.<ref name=mann>S. Mann and S.

Similar to the [[wavelet transform]], chirplets are usually generated from (or can be expressed as being from) a single ''mother chirplet'' (analogous to the so-called ''[[mother wavelet]]'' of wavelet theory).
