Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a new test response acquisition technique for high-speed devices-based on dual-frequency incoherent sub-sampling and sparse signal reconstruction. The proposed technique enables reconstruction of spectrally sparse wideband signals such as multi-tone signals and short pseudo-random bit sequences (PRBS) with enhanced time/frequency resolution as opposed to current methods. The sampling hardware utilizes dual analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and dedicated sampling frequency synthesizers with a common frequency reference. As compared to other compressive sampling architectures [1], the proposed hardware architecture is easy to implement at low cost since it does not require accurate sampling clock phase adjustment or random timing generation. For digital signal reconstruction, the proposed technique requires less number of waveform samples than conventional equivalent-time sampling techniques. In addition, the use of an resolution-enhanced discrete Fourier transform (DFT) frame and basis pursuit algorithms minimizes spectral leakage of incoherently sub-sampled signals. This co-design of sampling hardware and signal reconstruction algorithms enables testing of spectrally sparse wideband signals with enhanced time/frequency resolution.
