Gabor-like systems in $L^2({\bf R}^d)$ and extensions to wavelets

In this paper we show how to construct a certain class of orthonormal bases in $L^2({\bf R}^d)$ starting from one or more Gabor orthonormal bases in $L^2({\bf R})$. Each such basis can be obtained acting on a single function $\Psi(\underline x)\in L^2({\bf R}^d)$ with a set of unitary operators which operate as translation and modulation operators {\em in suitable variables}. The same procedure is also extended to frames and wavelets. Many examples are discussed.
