How many measurements are fundamentally required to capture a signal. Shannon's information theory established the bedrock of this question in 1948, the Nyquist Shannon theorem set the first answer, and compressed sensing (CS) rewrote it in…

We explore two fundamental questions at the intersection of sampling theory and information theory: how channel capacity is affected by sampling below the channel's Nyquist rate, and what sub-Nyquist sampling strategy should be employed to…
