Apparatus for low complexity sub-nyquist sampling of sparse wideband signals

Abstract

An apparatus for low complexity sub-Nyquist sampling of sparse wideband signals is provided, including a mixer, a periodic random sequence generator and a filter bank. The periodic random sequence generator generates a periodic pseudo-random sequence. The mixer is connected to the periodic random sequence generator for receiving the periodic pseudo-random sequence and mixing with an input signal to obtain a modulated signal. The filter bank further includes a plurality of filters and is connected to the mixer for filtering the modulated signal. The sub-Nyquist sampling apparatus may further includes a plurality of analog-to-digital convertors (ADCs), with each ADC connected to each filter of the filter bank to sample the signal from the filter bank and output a sampling signal.
