Plancherel-Polya Type Inequality for non-compactly Fourier-supported Functions?? Hi!
The Plancerel-Polya inequality can be stated as follows:
Let $0 < p\le \infty$ and $ \nu \in \mathbb{Z}$. Suppose that $g$ is a (smooth) function satisfying $\mbox{supp }\hat g \subset \lbrace\xi: |\xi| \le 2^{\nu + 1}\rbrace$. 
Then
$$
  \sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}} \sup_{x\in [k2^{-\nu},(k+1)2^{-\nu}]} |g(x)|^p \lesssim 2^{\nu} \|g\|_p^p.
$$
Question: Does an analogous inequality hold if the support condition on $\hat g$ is relaxed?
Say, if we assume that $g_\nu = 2^{-\nu}\varphi\left(2^{\nu}\cdot\right)$, where $\varphi$ is some smooth function? I am mainly interested in the case $p<1$.
EDIT: I will try a concrete example which is in the same spirit: Assume that $\varphi$ is some nice function (but not with compact frequency support). When does an inequality of the form
$$
 \sum_{k\in \mathbb{Z}} |c_k|^p \lesssim \|\sum_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}c_k\varphi(\cdot - k)\|_p^p ?
$$
hold? Certainly if $\hat \varphi$ has compact frequency support, this follows from the PP inequality. But also if e.g. $\varphi$ is a B-spline, so compact frequency support of $\varphi$ is not necessary.
 A: The following argument is particularly easy since $p\le1$, but it should not difficult to prove the same for all $p$, and the answer to your question is essentially negative.
For a generic function $g$ write $g_k=g\chi_k$ where $\chi_k$ is the characteristic function of the annulus 
$$|x|\in[k2^{-\nu},(k+1)2^{-\nu}].$$
Then for $p\le1$ you can write
$$|g(x)|^p\le\sum|g_k(x)|^p.$$
Now assume $g$ satisfies Plancherel-Polya, then the above implies
$$\|g\|_{L^\infty}\lesssim 2^{\nu/p} \|g\| _{L^p}.$$
Thus your function must satisfy Bernstein's inequality. 
So you are looking for a class of functions which satisfy in particular Bernstein's inequality with a constant $\sim 2^{\nu/p}$. Take a function $g$ in your class such that $\hat g$ has compact support (you will not want to exclude them I hope) and rescale it, $g_t(x)=g(tx)$. Since the two sides of Bernstein have different scaling properties, you see that the functions $g_t$ drop out of your class for $t$ too large, i.e., when the support of $\hat g_t$ becomes too large. In other words, you need some control on how much mass is spread on large frequencies. A way to control this would be to use weighted norms with weights in Fourier space, but this is nothing else than Sobolev embedding...
