Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method for quantizing an analog received signal in a low-power body area network (LP-BAN) by using a limited number of quantization bits, while information of the received signal is preserved for accurate signal reconstruction. The quantized signal can be equalized in such a way to generate an output equalized signal based on the periodic-sinc function, which is suitable for a subsequent Finite Rate of Innovation (FRI) processing. The noisy equalized signal can be further processed by applying improved (i.e., faster) Cadzow denoising algorithm as a part of the FRI processing.
