Abstract

Recently, a new concept for achieving superresolution was introduced. It was denoted space–bandwidth product (SW) adaptation. This concept evolves the adaptation of the SW function (found from the Wigner chart) of a signal in such a way that it could be accepted by the Wigner chart of the system. The theoretical aspects of this approach were presented in a companion paper. Several examples and practical demonstrations are considered. These examples indicate the potential of the new approach.
