The minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) estimator has been used to recon
struct a band-limited signal from its finite samples in a bounded inte
rval and shown to have many nice properties. In this research, we cons
ider a special class of bandlimited 1-D and 2-D signals which have a m
ultiband structure in the frequency domain, and propose a new reconstr
uction algorithm to exploit the multiband feature of the underlying si
gnals. The concept of the critical value and region is introduced to m
easure the performance of a reconstruction algorithm. We show analytic
ally that the new algorithm performs better than the MMSE estimator fo
r band-limited/multiband signals in terms of the critical value and re
gion measure. Finally, numerical examples of 1-D and 2-D signal recons
truction are given for performance comparison of various methods.
