We introduce Xampling, a unified framework for signal acquisition and processing of signals in a union of subspaces. The main functions of this framework are two. Analog compression that narrows down the input bandwidth prior to sampling with commercial devices. A nonlinear algorithm then detects the input subspace prior to conventional signal processing. A representative union model of spectrally-sparse signals serves as a test-case to study these Xampling functions. We adopt three metrics for the choice of analog compression: robustness to model mismatch, required hardware accuracy and software complexities. We conduct a comprehensive comparison between two sub-Nyquist acquisition strategies for spectrally-sparse signals, the random demodulator and the modulated wideband converter (MWC), in terms of these metrics and draw operative conclusions regarding the choice of analog compression. We then address lowrate signal processing and develop an algorithm for that purpose that enables convenient signal processing at sub-Nyquist rates from samples obtained by the MWC. We conclude by showing that a variety of other sampling approaches for different union classes fit nicely into our framework.
