Abstract

In consideration of the continuous increasing demand of wireless data transmission, ultra-wideband spectrum sensing is crucial to support the cognitive communication in a ultra-wide frequency band. However, it is challenging to design ADCs that fulfill the Nyquist rate requirement for a ultra wide band. Spectrum sensing based on the sub-Nyquist sampling maybe the answer. We propose UWBSS: ultra-wideband spectrum sensing. With multiple sub-Nyquist sampling rates, UWBSS can reconstruct the occupied frequencies from the under sampled data directly without complex amplitudes reconstruction. Also We conduct an extensive study to characterize the effect on the accuracy of sub-Nyquist spectrum sensing of sampling rate, bandwidth resolution and the SNR of the original signal. The performance of UWBSS is verified by simulations.
