Dictionary Approaches 281
(Vaidyanathan and Pal, 2014). A dictionary is simply a fat matrix A
of size N × M where M >> N.EachoftheM columns is a periodic
signal, and is called a (periodic) atom. Given an N-vector x (signal
x(n) with N samples), the representation takes the form
x = A
N×M
d (8.38)
Since M >> N, columns with all periods in the range 1 ≤ q ≤ N can
be accommodated in the dictionary, as in the first Ramanujan sum
representation (Eq. (8.4)). Furthermore, for each period q,wecan
accommodate a number of columns in A representing that period.
Thus an entire subspace can be used to ...
