Sampling of operators
Sampling and reconstruction of functions is a central tool in science. A key
result is given by the sampling theorem for bandlimited functions attributed to
Whittaker, Shannon, Nyquist, and Kotelnikov. We develop an analogous sampling
theory for operators which we call bandlimited if their Kohn-Nirenberg symbols
are bandlimited. We prove sampling theorems for such operators and show that
they are extensions of the classical sampling theorem
Identification of stochastic operators
Based on the here developed functional analytic machinery we extend the
theory of operator sampling and identification to apply to operators with
stochastic spreading functions. We prove that identification with a delta train
signal is possible for a large class of stochastic operators that have the
property that the autocorrelation of the spreading function is supported on a
set of 4D volume less than one and this support set does not have a defective
structure. In fact, unlike in the case of deterministic operator
identification, the geometry of the support set has a significant impact on the
identifiability of the considered operator class. Also, we prove that,
analogous to the deterministic case, the restriction of the 4D volume of a
support set to be less or equal to one is necessary for identifiability of a
stochastic operator class
Estimation of Overspread Scattering Functions
In many radar scenarios, the radar target or the medium is assumed to possess
randomly varying parts. The properties of a target are described by a random
process known as the spreading function. Its second order statistics under the
WSSUS assumption are given by the scattering function. Recent developments in
operator sampling theory suggest novel channel sounding procedures that allow
for the determination of the spreading function given complete statistical
knowledge of the operator echo from a single sounding by a weighted pulse
train.
We construct and analyze a novel estimator for the scattering function based
on these findings. Our results apply whenever the scattering function is
supported on a compact subset of the time-frequency plane. We do not make any
restrictions either on the geometry of this support set, or on its area. Our
estimator can be seen as a generalization of an averaged periodogram estimator
for the case of a non-rectangular geometry of the support set of the scattering
function
Sampling of stochastic operators
We develop sampling methodology aimed at determining stochastic operators
that satisfy a support size restriction on the autocorrelation of the operators
stochastic spreading function. The data that we use to reconstruct the operator
(or, in some cases only the autocorrelation of the spreading function) is based
on the response of the unknown operator to a known, deterministic test signal
Sampling and reconstruction of operators
We study the recovery of operators with bandlimited Kohn-Nirenberg symbol
from the action of such operators on a weighted impulse train, a procedure we
refer to as operator sampling. Kailath, and later Kozek and the authors have
shown that operator sampling is possible if the symbol of the operator is
bandlimited to a set with area less than one. In this paper we develop explicit
reconstruction formulas for operator sampling that generalize reconstruction
formulas for bandlimited functions. We give necessary and sufficient conditions
on the sampling rate that depend on size and geometry of the bandlimiting set.
Moreover, we show that under mild geometric conditions, classes of operators
bandlimited to an unknown set of area less than one-half permit sampling and
reconstruction. A similar result considering unknown sets of area less than one
was independently achieved by Heckel and Boelcskei.
Operators with bandlimited symbols have been used to model doubly dispersive
communication channels with slowly-time-varying impulse response. The results
in this paper are rooted in work by Bello and Kailath in the 1960s.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
Boundedness of multilinear pseudo-differential operators on modulation spaces
Boundedness results for multilinear pseudodifferential operators on products
of modulation spaces are derived based on ordered integrability conditions on
the short-time Fourier transform of the operators' symbols. The flexibility and
strength of the introduced methods is demonstrated by their application to the
bilinear and trilinear Hilbert transform.Comment: 29 pages, journal submissio
