  • Abstract
    We study the rate distortion function of the Bernoulli-Gaussian random variable which can be used to model sparse signals. Both lower and upper bounds on the rate distortion function are given. We show that the bounds are almost tight in the low distortion regime for sparse signals. Interestingly, a naive coding scheme is near-optimal in this scenario.
