Sampling a signal below the Shannon-Nyquist rate causes aliasing, meaning different frequencies to become indistinguishable. It is also wellknown that recovering spectral information from a signal using a parametric method can be ill-posed or ill-conditioned and therefore should be done with caution.We present an exponential analysis method to retrieve high-resolution information from coarse-scale measurements, using uniform downsampling. We exploit rather than avoid aliasing. While we loose the unicity of the solution by the downsampling, it allows to recondition the problem statement and increase the resolution.Our technique can be combined with different existing implementations of multi-exponential analysis (matrix pencil, MUSIC, ESPRIT, APM, generalized overdetermined eigenvalue solver, simultaneous QR factorization, . . .) and so is very versatile. It seems to be especially useful in the presence of clusters of frequencies that are difficult to distinguish from one another.
The problem of multivariate exponential analysis or sparse interpolation has received a lot of attention, especially with respect to the number of samples required to solve it unambiguously. In this paper we show how to bring the number of samples down to the absolute minimum of (d + 1)n where d is the dimension of the problem and n is the number of exponential terms. To this end we present a fundamentally different approach for the multivariate problem statement. We combine a one-dimensional exponential analysis method such as ESPRIT, MUSIC, the matrix pencil or any Prony-like method, with some linear systems of equations because the multivariate exponents are inner products and thus linear expressions in the parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
