Model-Based Calibration of Filter Imperfections in the Random Demodulator for Compressive Sensing
The random demodulator is a recent compressive sensing architecture providing
efficient sub-Nyquist sampling of sparse band-limited signals. The compressive
sensing paradigm requires an accurate model of the analog front-end to enable
correct signal reconstruction in the digital domain. In practice, hardware
devices such as filters deviate from their desired design behavior due to
component variations. Existing reconstruction algorithms are sensitive to such
deviations, which fall into the more general category of measurement matrix
perturbations. This paper proposes a model-based technique that aims to
calibrate filter model mismatches to facilitate improved signal reconstruction
quality. The mismatch is considered to be an additive error in the discretized
impulse response. We identify the error by sampling a known calibrating signal,
enabling least-squares estimation of the impulse response error. The error
estimate and the known system model are used to calibrate the measurement
matrix. Numerical analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of the calibration
method even for highly deviating low-pass filter responses. The proposed method
performance is also compared to a state of the art method based on discrete
Fourier transform trigonometric interpolation.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal
