This project focuses on wireless communication and signals for such a system - specifically:
The main contributions are to develop a framework for handling realistic signals (which are noisy, distorted etc.) and to provide a convincing validation (including experiments) of the achieved results. It is the objective to reduce the power consumption of current state-of-the-art techniques for converters and digital signal processing by at least 50% in the devices typically used in wireless communication systems.
The team is composed of two sections from Aalborg University (applied signal processing and RF signal techniques), one department from Lund University, Sweden (converters in integrated circuit design), and KU Leuven, Belgium (fundamental signal processing), as well as two industrial companies (Texas Instruments, Dallas, USA and Innovative RF which is a Danish start-up). In total four professors are involved in the project together with 3 PhD students and 2 postdocs in an international setting.

Project participants:
The SparSig project is collaborating with another project called: 4th Generation Mobile Communication and Test Platform (4GMCT)
The project deals with concepts and electronic circuits to perform energy efficient sampling, quantization and processing of signals for wireless communication in a 4G communication systems. The purpose of the research project is to investigate the theoretical basis, analyze and propose solutions for how compressed sampling techniques can be implemented in communication receivers. The main issue is to propose solutions for sub-Nyquist sampling and quantization, as well as a reconstruction algorithm design - with the main objective to reduce the energy consumption in the signal processing. The concepts are to be tested in a radio frequency receiver for wireless communication purpose.

People involved in collaboration :
GPL-licensed, MATLAB®-based software which is able to generate LTE signals. The software’s main aim is to serve as a virtual LTE signal generator for any researcher or engineer who is interested in the LTE technology. The software is developed with compatibility with the official LTE specification in mind.
