Off-grid Variational Bayesian Inference of Line Spectral Estimation from One-bit Samples
In this paper, the line spectral estimation (LSE) problem is studied from one-bit quantized samples where variational line spectral estimation (VALSE) combined expectation propagation (EP) VALSE-EP method is proposed. Since the original measurements are heavily quantized, performing the off-grid frequency estimation is very challenging. Referring to the expectation propagation (EP) principle, this quantized model is decomposed as two modules, one is the componentwise minimum mean square error (MMSE) module, the other is the standard linear model where the variational line spectrum estimation (VALSE) algorithm can be performed. The VALSE-EP algorithm iterates between the two modules in a turbo manner. In addition, this algorithm can be easily extended to solve the LSE with the multiple measurement vectors (MMVs). Finally, numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed VALSE-EP method.
