A control circuit to control a data compression apparatus, the control circuit causing the data compression apparatus to perform:
- outputting sampling sequences corresponding to signals obtained by adding different delay times to different signals obtained by branching a target signal into a plurality of lines, and sampling the signals at a sampling rate-less than of a Nyquist rate;
- and
- converting the sampling sequences into compressed data and outputting the compressed data, and
- causing the data compression apparatus to perform:
- as converting the sampling sequences into compressed data and outputting the compressed data,
- converting the sampling sequences in the lines from time-domain signals into frequency-domain signals;
- performing, at one time, phase compensation processing for sub-Nyquist zones of the sampling sequences converted into the frequency-domain signals, and processing to cancel phase rotation due to delay time differences between the sampling sequences;
- determining into which sub-Nyquist zone the target signal has been folded and estimating a frequency of the target signal;
- and
- converting a value representing the sub-Nyquist zone and a corresponding amplitude value into the compressed data in a specified data format and outputting the compressed data, wherein
- the control circuit causes the data compression apparatus to further perform
- sampling the target signal at a sampling rate of the Nyquist rate, and
- extracting signals corresponding to specified delay time differences from the sampled target signal.
