8.5 Heart of Compressed Sensing: Measurement Matrix
One of the most important design criteria for a measurement matrix is to have
a one-to-one linkage between measurements and a signal. The linear mea-
surements y = Ψx, where
×
is a random measurement matrix, are static
in a sense that columns
ii
N
Ψ
=
are xed a priori. They do not depend on the
signal or on the prior measurements. The most fundamental questions in the
design of a measurement matrix are as follows: (1) How much of the infor-
mation ...
