ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 24 -- United States Patent no. 12,587,353, issued on March 24, was assigned to Western Carolina University (Cullowhee, N.C.).

"Signal sampling and reconstruction below the nyquist rate" was invented by Weiguo Yang (Sylva, N.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of reconstructing an input signal includes providing (104) a first sampled signal (110) by sampling an input signal (102) at a sampling rate fs, the sampling rate being less than a Nyquist sampling rate for the input signal, providing a delayed input signal (107), sampling (108) the delayed input signal at the sampling rate to provide a second sampled signal (112), performing (114) a Fourier transform of the...
