Compressed Sensing of Analog Signals in Shift-Invariant Spaces
A traditional assumption underlying most data converters is that the signal
should be sampled at a rate exceeding twice the highest frequency. This
statement is based on a worst-case scenario in which the signal occupies the
entire available bandwidth. In practice, many signals are sparse so that only
part of the bandwidth is used. In this paper, we develop methods for low-rate
sampling of continuous-time sparse signals in shift-invariant (SI) spaces,
generated by m kernels with period T. We model sparsity by treating the case in
which only k out of the m generators are active, however, we do not know which
k are chosen. We show how to sample such signals at a rate much lower than m/T,
which is the minimal sampling rate without exploiting sparsity. Our approach
combines ideas from analog sampling in a subspace with a recently developed
block diagram that converts an infinite set of sparse equations to a finite
counterpart. Using these two components we formulate our problem within the
framework of finite compressed sensing (CS) and then rely on algorithms
developed in that context. The distinguishing feature of our results is that in
contrast to standard CS, which treats finite-length vectors, we consider
sampling of analog signals for which no underlying finite-dimensional model
exists. The proposed framework allows to extend much of the recent literature
on CS to the analog domain.Comment: to appear in IEEE Trans. on Signal Processin
Signal Recovery in Perturbed Fourier Compressed Sensing
In many applications in compressed sensing, the measurement matrix is a
Fourier matrix, i.e., it measures the Fourier transform of the underlying
signal at some specified `base' frequencies , where is the
number of measurements. However due to system calibration errors, the system
may measure the Fourier transform at frequencies
that are different from the base frequencies and where
are unknown. Ignoring perturbations of this nature can lead to major errors in
signal recovery. In this paper, we present a simple but effective alternating
minimization algorithm to recover the perturbations in the frequencies \emph{in
situ} with the signal, which we assume is sparse or compressible in some known
basis. In many cases, the perturbations can be expressed
in terms of a small number of unique parameters . We demonstrate that
in such cases, the method leads to excellent quality results that are several
times better than baseline algorithms (which are based on existing off-grid
methods in the recent literature on direction of arrival (DOA) estimation,
modified to suit the computational problem in this paper). Our results are also
robust to noise in the measurement values. We also provide theoretical results
for (1) the convergence of our algorithm, and (2) the uniqueness of its
solution under some restrictions.Comment: New theortical results about uniqueness and convergence now included.

Adaptive sensing performance lower bounds for sparse signal detection and support estimation
This paper gives a precise characterization of the fundamental limits of
adaptive sensing for diverse estimation and testing problems concerning sparse
signals. We consider in particular the setting introduced in (IEEE Trans.
Inform. Theory 57 (2011) 6222-6235) and show necessary conditions on the
minimum signal magnitude for both detection and estimation: if is a sparse vector with non-zero components then it
can be reliably detected in noise provided the magnitude of the non-zero
components exceeds . Furthermore, the signal support can be exactly
identified provided the minimum magnitude exceeds . Notably
there is no dependence on , the extrinsic signal dimension. These results
show that the adaptive sensing methodologies proposed previously in the
literature are essentially optimal, and cannot be substantially improved. In
addition, these results provide further insights on the limits of adaptive
compressive sensing.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.3150/13-BEJ555 the Bernoulli
