Summary: Pseudodifferential operators are an indispensable tool for the study of partial differential equations and are therefore a branch of classical analysis. In this chapter [see Zbl 1095.00007 for the whole collection], we offer an approach using time-frequency methods. In this approach, time-frequency representations that are standard in signal analysis are used to set up the formalism of pseudodifferential operators, and certain classes of function spaces and symbols, the so-called modulation spaces, arise naturally in the investigation. Although the approach is “pedestrian” and based more on engineering intuition than on “hard” analysis, strong results on boundedness and Schatten class properties are within its scope.
