In this paper we present a new family of discrete sequences having "random like" uniformly decaying auto-correlation properties. The new class of infinite length sequences are higher order chirps constructed using irrational numbers. Exploiting results from the theory of continued fractions and diophantine approximations, we show that the class of sequences so formed has the property that the worst-case auto-correlation coefficients for every finite length sequence decays at a polynomial rate. These sequences display doppler immunity as well. We also show that Toeplitz matrices formed from such sequences satisfy restricted-isometry-property (RIP), a concept that has played a central role recently in Compressed Sensing applications. Compressed sensing has conventionally dealt with sensing matrices with arbitrary components. Nevertheless, such arbitrary sensing matrices are not appropriate for linear system identification and one must employ Toeplitz structured sensing matrices. Linear system identification plays a central role in a wide variety of applications such as channel estimation for multipath wireless systems as well as control system applications. Toeplitz matrices are also desirable on account of their filtering structure, which allows for fast implementation together with reduced storage requirements.
How to construct a suitable measurement matrix is still an open question in compressed sensing. A significant part of the recent work is that the measurement matrices are not completely random on the entries but exhibit considerable structure. In this paper, we proved that the symmetric Toeplitz matrix and its transforms can be used as measurement matrix and recovery signal with high probability. Compared with random matrices (e.g. Gaussian and Bernullio matrices) and some structured matrices (e.g. Toeplitz and circulant matrices), we need to generate fewer independent entries to obtain the me…
Compressed sensing seeks to recover a sparse vector from a small number of linear and non-adaptive measurements. While most work so far focuses on Gaussian or Bernoulli random measurements we investigate the use of partial random circulant and Toeplitz matrices in connection with recovery by $\ell_1$-minization. In contrast to recent work in this direction we allow the use of an arbitrary subset of rows of a circulant and Toeplitz matrix. Our recovery result predicts that the necessary number of measurements to ensure sparse reconstruction by $\ell_1$-minimization with random partial circulant…
Recently, the statistical restricted isometry property (RIP) has been formulated to analyze the performance of deterministic sampling matrices for compressed sensing. In this paper, we propose the usage of orthogonal symmetric Toeplitz matrices (OSTM) for compressed sensing and study their statistical RIP by taking advantage of Stein's method. In particular, we derive the statistical RIP performance bound in terms of the largest value of the sampling matrix and the sparsity level of the input signal. Based on such connections, we show that OSTM can satisfy the statistical RIP for an overwhelmi…
Recent work in compressed sensing theory shows that $n\times N$ independent and identically distributed (IID) sensing matrices whose entries are drawn independently from certain probability distributions guarantee exact recovery of a sparse signal with high probability even if $n\ll N$. Motivated by signal processing applications, random filtering with Toeplitz sensing matrices whose elements are drawn from the same distributions were considered and shown to also be sufficient to recover a sparse signal from reduced samples exactly with high probability. This paper considers Toeplitz block mat…
In this paper, we consider robust system identification under sparse outliers and random noises. In this problem, system parameters are observed through a Toeplitz matrix. All observations are subject to random noises and a few are corrupted with outliers. We reduce this problem of system identification to a sparse error correcting problem using a Toeplitz structured real-numbered coding matrix. We prove the performance guarantee of Toeplitz structured matrix in sparse error correction. Thresholds on the percentage of correctable errors for Toeplitz structured matrices are established. When bo…
Compressed sensing is a novel technique where one can recover sparse signals from the undersampled measurements. In this correspondence, a $K \times N$ measurement matrix for compressed sensing is deterministically constructed via additive character sequences. The Weil bound is then used to show that the matrix has asymptotically optimal coherence for $N=K^2$, and to present a sufficient condition on the sparsity level for unique sparse recovery. Also, the restricted isometry property (RIP) is statistically studied for the deterministic matrix. Using additive character sequences with small alp…
Compressed sensing is a novel technique where one can recover sparse signals from the undersampled measurements. In this paper, a $K \times N$ measurement matrix for compressed sensing is deterministically constructed via multiplicative character sequences. Precisely, a constant multiple of a cyclic shift of an $M$-ary power residue or Sidelnikov sequence is arranged as a column vector of the matrix, through modulating a primitive $M$-th root of unity. The Weil bound is then used to show that the matrix has asymptotically optimal coherence for large $K$ and $M$, and to present a sufficient con…
Construction on the measurement matrix $A$ is a central problem in compressed sensing. Although using random matrices is proven optimal and successful in both theory and applications. A deterministic construction on the measurement matrix is still very important and interesting. In fact, it is still an open problem proposed by T. Tao. In this paper, we shall provide a new deterministic construction method and prove it is optimal with regard to the mutual incoherence.
This paper proposes a set of piecewise Toeplitz matrices as the linear mapping/sensing operator $\mathcal{A}: \mathbf{R}^{n_1 \times n_2} \rightarrow \mathbf{R}^M$ for recovering low rank matrices from few measurements. We prove that such operators efficiently encode the information so there exists a unique reconstruction matrix under mild assumptions. This work provides a significant extension of the compressed sensing and rank minimization theory, and it achieves a tradeoff between reducing the memory required for storing the sampling operator from $\mathcal{O}(n_1n_2M)$ to $\mathcal{O}(\max…
Compressed sensing is a novel technique where one can recover sparse signals from the undersampled measurements. This paper studies a $K \times N$ partial Fourier measurement matrix for compressed sensing which is deterministically constructed via cyclic difference sets (CDS). Precisely, the matrix is constructed by $K$ rows of the $N\times N$ inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) matrix, where each row index is from a $(N, K, λ)$ cyclic difference set. The restricted isometry property (RIP) is statistically studied for the deterministic matrix to guarantee the recovery of sparse signals. …
As an alternative to the traditional sampling theory, compressed sensing allows acquiring much smaller amount of data, still estimating the spectra of frequency-sparse signals accurately. However, compressed sensing usually requires random sampling in data acquisition, which is difficult to implement in hardware. In this paper, we propose a deterministic and simple sampling scheme, that is, sampling at three sub-Nyquist rates which have coprime undersampled ratios. This sampling method turns out to be valid through numerical experiments. A complex-valued multitask algorithm based on variationa…
The expicit restricted isometry property (RIP) measurement matrices are needed in practical application of compressed sensing in signal processing. RIP matrices from Reed-Solomon codes, BCH codes, orthogonal codes, expander graphs have been proposed and analysised. On the other hand binary constant weight codes have been studied for many years and many optimal or near-optimal small weight and ditance constant weight codes have been determined. In this paper we propose a new deterministic construction of RIP measurement matrices in compressed sensing from binary and ternary contant weight codes…
It is previously shown that proper random linear samples of a finite discrete signal (vector) which has a sparse representation in an orthonormal basis make it possible (with probability 1) to recover the original signal. Moreover, the choice of the linear samples does not depend on the sparsity domain. In this paper, we will show that the replacement of random linear samples with deterministic functions of the signal (not necessarily linear) will not result in unique reconstruction of k-sparse signals except for k=1. We will show that there exist deterministic nonlinear sampling functions for…
In this paper we introduce deterministic $m\times n$ RIP fulfilling $\pm 1$ matrices of order $k$ such that $\frac{\log m}{\log k}\approx \frac{\log(\log_2 n)}{\log(\log_2 k)}$. The columns of these matrices are binary BCH code vectors that their zeros are replaced with -1 (excluding the normalization factor). The samples obtained by these matrices can be easily converted to the original sparse signal; more precisely, for the noiseless samples, the simple Matching Pursuit technique, even with less than the common computational complexity, exactly reconstructs the sparse signal. In addition, us…
In this paper we establish the connection between the Orthogonal Optical Codes (OOC) and binary compressed sensing matrices. We also introduce deterministic bipolar $m\times n$ RIP fulfilling $\pm 1$ matrices of order $k$ such that $m\leq\mathcal{O}\big(k (\log_2 n)^{\frac{\log_2 k}{\ln \log_2 k}}\big)$. The columns of these matrices are binary BCH code vectors where the zeros are replaced by -1. Since the RIP is established by means of coherence, the simple greedy algorithms such as Matching Pursuit are able to recover the sparse solution from the noiseless samples. Due to the cyclic property…
Radar imaging systems transmit modulated wideband waveform to achieve high range resolution resulting in high sampling rates at the receiver proportional to the bandwidth of the transmit waveform. Analog processing techniques can be used on receive to reduce the number of measurements to N, the number of potential delay bins. If the scene interrogated by the radar is assumed to be sparse consisting of K point targets, results from compressive sensing suggest that number of measurements can be further reduced to scale with K logN for stable recovery of a sparse scene from measurements with addi…
Compressed Sensing (CS) is an emerging field that enables reconstruction of a sparse signal $x \in {\mathbb R} ^n$ that has only $k \ll n$ non-zero coefficients from a small number $m \ll n$ of linear projections. The projections are obtained by multiplying $x$ by a matrix $Φ\in {\mathbb R}^{m \times n}$ --- called a CS matrix --- where $k < m \ll n$. In this work, we ask the following question: given the triplet $\{k, m, n \}$ that defines the CS problem size, what are the deterministic limits on the performance of the best CS matrix in ${\mathbb R}^{m \times n}$? We select Restricted Isometr…
In this paper, a new class of circulant matrices built from deterministic sequences is proposed for convolution-based compressed sensing (CS). In contrast to random convolution, the coefficients of the underlying filter are given by the discrete Fourier transform of a deterministic sequence with good autocorrelation. Both uniform recovery and non-uniform recovery of sparse signals are investigated, based on the coherence parameter of the proposed sensing matrices. Many examples of the sequences are investigated, particularly the Frank-Zadoff-Chu (FZC) sequence, the \textit{m}-sequence and the …
Compressed sensing is a promising technique that attempts to faithfully recover sparse signal with as few linear and nonadaptive measurements as possible. Its performance is largely determined by the characteristic of sensing matrix. Recently several zero-one binary sensing matrices have been deterministically constructed for their relative low complexity and competitive performance. Considering the complexity of implementation, it is of great practical interest if one could further improve the sparsity of binary matrix without performance loss. Based on the study of restricted isometry proper…
In Compressed Sensing the matrices that satisfy the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) play an important role. But to date, very few results for designing such matrices are available. For applications such as multiplier-less data compression, binary sensing matrices are of interest. The present work constructs deterministic and binary sensing matrices using Euler Squares. In particular, given a positive integer $m$ different from $p, p^2$ for a prime $p$, we show that it is possible to construct a binary sensing matrix of size $m \times c (mμ)^2$, where $μ$ is the coherence parameter of the ma…
Compressed sensing (CS) is a signal acquisition paradigm to simultaneously acquire and reduce dimension of signals that admit sparse representation. This is achieved by collecting linear, non-adaptive measurements of a signal, which can be formalized as multiplying the signal with a "measurement matrix". Most of matrices used in CS are random matrices as they satisfy the restricted isometry property (RIP) in an optimal regime of number of measurements with high probability. However, these matrices have their own caveats and for this reason, deterministic measurement matrices have been proposed…
Compressed sensing is a celebrated framework in signal processing and has many practical applications. One of challenging problems in compressed sensing is to construct deterministic matrices having restricted isometry property (RIP). So far, there are only a few publications providing deterministic RIP matrices beating the square-root bottleneck on the sparsity level. In this paper, we investigate RIP of certain matrices defined by higher power residues modulo primes. Moreover, we prove that the widely-believed generalized Paley graph conjecture implies that these matrices have RIP breaking t…
Compressed sensing (CS) is a signal acquisition paradigm to simultaneously acquire and reduce dimension of signals that admit sparse representations. This is achieved by collecting linear, non-adaptive measurements of a signal, which can be formalized as multiplying the signal with a "measurement matrix". If the measurement satisfies the so-called restricted isometry property (RIP), then it will be appropriate to be used in compressed sensing. While a wide class of random matrices provably satisfy the RIP with high probability, explicit and deterministic constructions have been shown (so far) …
Suppose the signal x is realized by driving a k-sparse signal u through an arbitrary unknown stable discrete-linear time invariant system H. These types of processes arise naturally in Reflection Seismology. In this paper we are interested in several problems: (a) Blind-Deconvolution: Can we recover both the filter $H$ and the sparse signal $u$ from noisy measurements? (b) Compressive Sensing: Is x compressible in the conventional sense of compressed sensing? Namely, can x, u and H be reconstructed from a sparse set of measurements. We develop novel L1 minimization methods to solve both cases …
Deterministic constructions of measurement matrices in compressed sensing (CS) are considered in this paper. The constructions are inspired by the recent discovery of Dimakis, Smarandache and Vontobel which says that parity-check matrices of good low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes can be used as {provably} good measurement matrices for compressed sensing under $\ell_1$-minimization. The performance of the proposed binary measurement matrices is mainly theoretically analyzed with the help of the analyzing methods and results from (finite geometry) LDPC codes. Particularly, several lower boun…

In 'An asymptotic result on compressed sensing matrices', a new construction for compressed sensing matrices using combinatorial design theory was introduced. In this paper, we use deterministic and probabilistic methods to analyse the performance of matrices obtained from this construction. We provide new theoretical results and detailed simulations. These simulations indicate that the construction is competitive with Gaussian random matrices, and that recovery is tolerant to noise. A new recovery algorithm tailored to the construction is also given.
The central idea of compressed sensing is to exploit the fact that most signals of interest are sparse in some domain and use this to reduce the number of measurements to encode. However, if the sparsity of the input signal is not precisely known, but known to lie within a specified range, compressed sensing as such cannot exploit this fact and would need to use the same number of measurements even for a very sparse signal. In this paper, we propose a novel method called Compressed Shattering to adapt compressed sensing to the specified sparsity range, without changing the sensing matrix by cr…
In this paper, a class of deterministic sensing matrices are constructed by selecting rows from Fourier matrices. These matrices have better performance in sparse recovery than random partial Fourier matrices. The coherence and restricted isometry property of these matrices are given to evaluate their capacity as compressive sensing matrices. In general, compressed sensing requires random sampling in data acquisition, which is difficult to implement in hardware. By using these sensing matrices in harmonic detection, a deterministic sampling method is provided. The frequencies and amplitudes of…
Block coherence of matrices plays an important role in analyzing the performance of block compressed sensing recovery algorithms (Bajwa and Mixon, 2012). In this paper, we characterize two block coherence metrics: worst-case and average block coherence. First, we present lower bounds on worst-case block coherence, in both the general case and also when the matrix is constrained to be a union of orthobases. We then present deterministic matrix constructions based upon Kronecker products which obtain these lower bounds. We also characterize the worst-case block coherence of random subspaces. Fin…
This article extends the concept of compressed sensing to signals that are not sparse in an orthonormal basis but rather in a redundant dictionary. It is shown that a matrix, which is a composition of a random matrix of certain type and a deterministic dictionary, has small restricted isometry constants. Thus, signals that are sparse with respect to the dictionary can be recovered via Basis Pursuit from a small number of random measurements. Further, thresholding is investigated as recovery algorithm for compressed sensing and conditions are provided that guarantee reconstruction with high pro…
Compressed Sensing aims to capture attributes of $k$-sparse signals using very few measurements. In the standard Compressed Sensing paradigm, the $\m\times \n$ measurement matrix $\A$ is required to act as a near isometry on the set of all $k$-sparse signals (Restricted Isometry Property or RIP). Although it is known that certain probabilistic processes generate $\m \times \n$ matrices that satisfy RIP with high probability, there is no practical algorithm for verifying whether a given sensing matrix $\A$ has this property, crucial for the feasibility of the standard recovery algorithms. In co…
We introduce a general framework to deterministically construct binary measurement matrices for compressed sensing. The proposed matrices are composed of (circulant) permutation submatrix blocks and zero submatrix blocks, thus making their hardware realization convenient and easy. Firstly, using the famous Johnson bound for binary constant weight codes, we derive a new lower bound for the coherence of binary matrices with uniform column weights. Afterwards, a large class of binary base matrices with coherence asymptotically achieving this new bound are presented. Finally, by choosing proper ro…
Compressed sensing is a scheme that allows for sparse signals to be acquired, transmitted and stored using far fewer measurements than done by conventional means employing Nyquist sampling theorem. Since many naturally occurring signals are sparse (in some domain), compressed sensing has rapidly seen popularity in a number of applied physics and engineering applications, particularly in designing signal and image acquisition strategies, e.g., magnetic resonance imaging, quantum state tomography, scanning tunneling microscopy, analog to digital conversion technologies. Contemporaneously, causal…
This paper considers the problem of pilot design for compressive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel estimation. In particular, we are interested in estimating the channels for multiple transmitters simultaneously when the pilot sequences are shorter than the combined channels. Existing works on this topic demonstrated that tools from compressed sensing theory can yield accurate multichannel estimation provided that each pilot sequence is randomly generated. Here, we propose constructing the pilot sequence for each transmitter from a small set of deterministic sequences. We derive a …
In this paper, we propose a compressed sensing (CS) framework that consists of three parts: a unit-norm tight frame (UTF), a random diagonal matrix and a column-wise orthonormal matrix. We prove that this structure satisfies the restricted isometry property (RIP) with high probability if the number of measurements $m = O(s \log^2s \log^2n)$ for $s$-sparse signals of length $n$ and if the column-wise orthonormal matrix is bounded. Some existing structured sensing models can be studied under this framework, which then gives tighter bounds on the required number of measurements to satisfy the RIP…

Recently, it has been proved in Babadi et al. that in noisy compressed sensing, a joint typical estimator can asymptotically achieve the Cramer-Rao lower bound of the problem.To prove this result, this paper used a lemma,which is provided in Akcakaya et al,that comprises the main building block of the proof. This lemma is based on the assumption of Gaussianity of the measurement matrix and its randomness in the domain of noise. In this correspondence, we generalize the results obtained in Babadi et al by dropping the Gaussianity assumption on the measurement matrix. In fact, by considering the…
In the problem of compressive phase retrieval, one wants to recover an approximately $k$-sparse signal $x \in \mathbb{C}^n$, given the magnitudes of the entries of $Φx$, where $Φ\in \mathbb{C}^{m \times n}$. This problem has received a fair amount of attention, with sublinear time algorithms appearing in \cite{cai2014super,pedarsani2014phasecode,yin2015fast}. In this paper we further investigate the direction of sublinear decoding for real signals by giving a recovery scheme under the $\ell_2 / \ell_2$ guarantee, with almost optimal, $\Oh(k \log n )$, number of measurements. Our result outperf…
We study the problem of obtaining efficient, deterministic, black-box polynomial identity testing algorithms for depth-3 set-multilinear circuits (over arbitrary fields). This class of circuits has an efficient, deterministic, white-box polynomial identity testing algorithm (due to Raz and Shpilka), but has no known such black-box algorithm. We recast this problem as a question of finding a low-dimensional subspace H, spanned by rank 1 tensors, such that any non-zero tensor in the dual space ker(H) has high rank. We obtain explicit constructions of essentially optimal-size hitting sets for ten…
In this paper, we show that the Hadamard matrix acts as an extractor over the reals of the Renyi information dimension (RID), in an analogous way to how it acts as an extractor of the discrete entropy over finite fields. More precisely, we prove that the RID of an i.i.d. sequence of mixture random variables polarizes to the extremal values of 0 and 1 (corresponding to discrete and continuous distributions) when transformed by a Hadamard matrix. Further, we prove that the polarization pattern of the RID admits a closed form expression and follows exactly the Binary Erasure Channel (BEC) polariz…
Modern compression algorithms exploit complex structures that are present in signals to describe them very efficiently. On the other hand, the field of compressed sensing is built upon the observation that "structured" signals can be recovered from their under-determined set of linear projections. Currently, there is a large gap between the complexity of the structures studied in the area of compressed sensing and those employed by the state-of-the-art compression codes. Recent results in the literature on deterministic signals aim at bridging this gap through devising compressed sensing decod…
Compressed sensing was proposed by E. J. Candés, J. Romberg, T. Tao, and D. Donoho for efficient sampling of sparse signals in 2006 and has vast applications in signal processing. The expicit restricted isometry property (RIP) measurement matrices are needed in practice. Since 2007 R. DeVore, J. Bourgain et al and R. Calderbank et al have given several deterministic cosntrcutions of RIP matrices from various mathematical objects. On the other hand the strong coherence property of a measurement matrix was introduced by Bajwa and Calderbank et al for the recovery of signals under the noisy measu…
Compressed sensing (CS) is a signal acquisition paradigm to simultaneously acquire and reduce dimension of signals that admit sparse representations. When such a signal is acquired according to the principles of CS, the measurements still take on values in the continuum. In today's "digital" world, a subsequent quantization step, where these measurements are replaced with elements from a finite set is crucial. We focus on one of the approaches that yield efficient quantizers for CS: $ΣΔ$ quantization, followed by a one-stage tractable reconstruction method, which was developed by Saab et al. w…
Extracting information from nonlinear measurements is a fundamental challenge in data analysis. In this work, we consider separable inverse problems, where the data are modeled as a linear combination of functions that depend nonlinearly on certain parameters of interest. These parameters may represent neuronal activity in a human brain, frequencies of electromagnetic waves, fluorescent probes in a cell, or magnetic relaxation times of biological tissues. Separable nonlinear inverse problems can be reformulated as underdetermined sparse-recovery problems, and solved using convex programming. T…
Compressed sensing is an important problem in many fields of science and engineering. It reconstructs signals by finding sparse solutions to underdetermined linear equations. In this work we propose a deterministic and non-parametric algorithm SSD (Shortest-Solution guided Decimation) to construct support of the sparse solution under the guidance of the dense least-squares solution of the recursively decimated linear equation. The most significant feature of SSD is its insensitivity to correlations in the sampling matrix. Using extensive numerical experiments we show that SSD greatly outperfor…
Dynamic tracking of sparse targets has been one of the important topics in array signal processing. Recently, compressed sensing (CS) approaches have been extensively investigated as a new tool for this problem using partial support information obtained by exploiting temporal redundancy. However, most of these approaches are formulated under single measurement vector compressed sensing (SMV-CS) framework, where the performance guarantees are only in a probabilistic manner. The main contribution of this paper is to allow \textit{deterministic} tracking of time varying supports with multiple mea…
Completely blind sensing is the problem of recovering bandlimited signals from measurements, without any spectral information beside an upper bound on the measure of the whole support set in the frequency domain. Determining the number of measurements necessary and sufficient for reconstruction has been an open problem, and usually partially blind sensing is performed, assuming to have some partial spectral information available a priori. In this paper, the minimum number of measurements that guarantees perfect recovery in the absence of measurement error, and robust recovery in the presence o…
This paper studies the problem of neighbor discovery in wireless networks, namely, each node wishes to discover and identify the network interface addresses (NIAs) of those nodes within a single hop. A novel paradigm, called compressed neighbor discovery is proposed, which enables all nodes to simultaneously discover their respective neighborhoods with a single frame of transmission, which is typically of a few thousand symbol epochs. The key technique is to assign each node a unique on-off signature and let all nodes simultaneously transmit their signatures. Despite that the radios are half-d…
In this paper, we present a new approach for the analysis of iterative node-based verification-based (NB-VB) recovery algorithms in the context of compressive sensing. These algorithms are particularly interesting due to their low complexity (linear in the signal dimension $n$). The asymptotic analysis predicts the fraction of unverified signal elements at each iteration $\ell$ in the asymptotic regime where $n \rightarrow \infty$. The analysis is similar in nature to the well-known density evolution technique commonly used to analyze iterative decoding algorithms. To perform the analysis, a m…
Model-based compressed sensing refers to compressed sensing with extra structure about the underlying sparse signal known a priori. Recent work has demonstrated that both for deterministic and probabilistic models imposed on the signal, this extra information can be successfully exploited to enhance recovery performance. In particular, weighted $\ell_1$-minimization with suitable choice of weights has been shown to improve performance in the so called non-uniform sparse model of signals. In this paper, we consider a full generalization of the non-uniform sparse model with very mild assumptions…
The fundamental task of group testing is to recover a small distinguished subset of items from a large population while efficiently reducing the total number of tests (measurements). The key contribution of this paper is in adopting a new information-theoretic perspective on group testing problems. We formulate the group testing problem as a channel coding/decoding problem and derive a single-letter characterization for the total number of tests used to identify the defective set. Although the focus of this paper is primarily on group testing, our main result is generally applicable to other c…
Given the superposition of a low-rank matrix plus the product of a known fat compression matrix times a sparse matrix, the goal of this paper is to establish deterministic conditions under which exact recovery of the low-rank and sparse components becomes possible. This fundamental identifiability issue arises with traffic anomaly detection in backbone networks, and subsumes compressed sensing as well as the timely low-rank plus sparse matrix recovery tasks encountered in matrix decomposition problems. Leveraging the ability of $\ell_1$- and nuclear norms to recover sparse and low-rank matrice…
