Combination of periodic and alias-free non-uniform signal sampling for wideband signal digitizing and compressed transmitting based on picosecond-resolution event timing

Method for high precision analog input signal digitizing and compressive transmitting based on obtaining and processing timing information by a picosecond resolution Event Timer is presented. While it has significant advantages, application of this type of systems is limited as the highest frequency of the input signals cannot exceed half the repetition rate of the involved periodic representative events formed and timed by the Event Timer. An approach to eliminating this limitation by using deliberately randomized non-uniform sampling of the input signals and specific reference function is proposed, described and discussed.
