Multirate Coprime Sampling of Sparse Multiband Signals

Abstract

In this letter, a new scheme for multirate coprime sampling and reconstructing of sparse multiband signals with very high carrier frequencies is proposed, where the locations of the signal bands are not known a priori. Simulation results show that the new scheme can simultaneously reduce both the number of sampling channels and the sampling rate for perfect reconstruction, compared to the existing schemes requiring high number of sampling channels or high sampling rate.
