ABSTRACT Cyclostationary feature detection is one of the most powerful spectrum sensing techniques used for cognitive radio (CR) systems. This is because of its robustness against noise uncertainties. However, this technique needs high sampling rates, which is limited by the state-of the-art analog to digital converters (ADCs), especially in wideband regime. Comressive sensing (CS) was used by many researchers for solving this problem via sub-Nyquist sampling rates. However CS solves the high sampling rate problem, but it does ...
