Compressive narrowband interference detection and parameter estimation in direct sequence spread spectrum communication by Zengkai Shi, Yongshun Zhang, Zhaoyong Qian, Xiaoshuang Sun, Xiangtai Ma

“…Abstract The Shannon‐Nyquist sampling theorem that is based on narrowband interference (NBI) detection and parameter estimation methods in direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) communication is limited by the high sampling rate. Compressive sensing (CS) is adopted to address the problem. But it will change the signal nature, which leads to the unavailability of Shannon‐Nyquist sampling theorem‐based interference detection and parameter estimation methods. …”
