Traditionally, Prony and matrix-pencil methods are proposed to reconstruct FRI signals from the discrete samples. However, these methods tend to break down at a certain signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, we propose sparsity-based annihilating filter, refer it as sparse-Prony, which avoids polynomial root-finding. In the noiseless scenario, the proposed method is able to recover perfectly the original signal. Simulation results for the noisy scenario demonstrate significant improvement in the performance in terms of MSE over the traditional FRI methods, especially in the breakdown SNR. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.Signal reconstructionAnnihilating filtersBandlimitedFinite rateFinite rate of innovationInnovation approachProny’s method and sparsityReconstructionS-methodSampling and reconstructionSignals reconstructionSignal to noise ratio
