Design and implementation of compressive samplers

The area of compressed sensing has developed a lot and is of high interest in the last few years because it provides a solid and promising method to exactly recover signals by sampling at very low rate compared to traditional rates. It has been proved that the topic can be applied to almost all signal processing area which deals with sparse signals. But most of the works done in compressed sensing is in digital domain. Very few works have been done in design of compressed sensing hardware based on analog compressed sensing. This paper aims to investigate the scope for designing an analog frontend for sampler which takes samples at sub-Nyquist rate. It is based on analog compressed sensing and is implemented using minimum electronic components.
