The compressive sensing (CS) framework aims to ease the burden on analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) by exploiting inherent structure in natural and man-made signals. It has been demon-strated that structured signals can be acquired with just a small number of linear measurements, on the order

As this master thesis marks the end of my studies at Delft University of Technology, I would like to use this opportunity and thank everyone who has influenced my two-year journey. Those last two years have not been easy. In fact, it has been the most challenging, stressful, and at the same time- the most inspiring, productive, and exciting journey. Journey, which has completely changed my life and has prepared me for new challenges and opportunities. I owe a very special debt to the ex president of Georgia – Mikheil Saakashvili, for initiating a scholarship program for Georgian students abroad, willing to pursue master’s degree. I would like to thank Mr. Saakashvili for giving me a chance to be one of those students, and for fully sponsoring my studies at TU Delft. I must express special gratitude to my graduation committee for being way more supportive then I could ever imagine. I would like to thank them for all their feedback, support, and encouragement, for being very understanding, and shortly, for making it possible for me to finalize my thesis and to graduate. I would like to acknowledge the selfless help and support of my supervisor – Dr. Huib Aldewereld. His guidance and support encouraged me to be motivated and to keep working on the thesis. I would like to thank him for all his time that he has spent on reading my thesis, on giving me direct comments, and further motivation. I had times when I felt lost in my own thesis, and I was ready to give up, but Dr. Aldewereld always managed to encourage and motivate me. I would like to thank him for arranging meetings (lots of meetings) with me to discuss my progress, whenever I asked for it, despite his very
