Abstract
Conference Title: 2013 IEEE 20th International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems (ICECS) Conference Start Date: 2013, Dec. 8 Conference End Date: 2013, Dec. 11 Conference Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates In this paper we take into account the rakeness approach in the design of Compressed Sensing (CS) based system, which allows, by means of the matching of some statistical properties of the CS sampling functions with statistical features of the input signal, to greatly increase system performance in terms of either a reduction of resources (hardware, energy, etc) required for the signal acquisition or an increase in the acquisition quality. In particular, with respect to the general formulation, we make two additional and non-restrictive hypotheses to ensure a good behavior of the system. With these, we can compute an upper and a lower bound for the parameter r used to control the statistical matching level, and we show with some numerical examples that the choice of r is not critical. In particular, any r value taken from the computed interval ensures almost optimal performance, making the rakeness approach robust and worthwhile. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
