Unlimited Sampling Theorem Based on Fractional Fourier Transform

Abstract

The recovery of bandlimited signals with high dynamic range is a hot issue in sampling research. The unlimited sampling theory expands the recordable range of traditional analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) arbitrarily, and the signal is folded back into a low dynamic range measurement, avoiding the saturation problem. We study the unlimited sampling problem of high dynamic non-bandlimited signals in the Fourier domain (FD) based on the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT). First, a mathematical signal model for unlimited sampling is proposed. Then, based on this mathematical model, the annihilation filtering method is used to estimate the arbitrary folding time. Finally, a novel unlimited sampling theorem in the FRFD is obtained. The results show that the non-bandlimited signal can be reconstructed in the FD based on the FRFT, and it is not affected by the ADC threshold.
