  In this note, we fix a real invertible $d\times d$ matrix $\mathcal{A}$ and
consider $\mathcal{A}\mathbb{Z}^d$ as an index set. For $f\in
L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$, let $\Phi^{\mathcal{A}}_{f}:=\frac{1}{|\det
\mathcal{A}|}\sum_{k\in \mathbb{Z}^d}|\hat{f}(\mathcal{A}^T)^{-1}(\cdot+k)|^2$
be the periodization of $|\hat{f}|^2$. By using $\Phi^{\mathcal{A}}_{f}$, among
other things, we characterize when the sequence
$\tau_{\mathcal{A}}(f):=\{f(\cdot-\mathcal{A}k)\}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}^d}$ is a
Bessel sequence, frame of translates, Riesz basis, or orthonormal basis. And
finally, we construct an example, in which $\tau_{\mathcal{A}}(f)$ is a
Parseval frame of translates, but not a Riesz sequence.
