Abstract
A computationally inexpensive method is presented for the recovery of spectra from measurements obtained with Hadamard transform spectrometers having nonideal masks. Normally, <i>N</i> measurements are required in order to recover an <i>N</i>-point spectrum; this method requires <i>N</i> + <i>N</i><sub>0</sub> measurements to be taken, where, typically, <i>N</i><sub>0</sub> ≤ 10. Once the additional measurements have been taken, only <i>O(N</i>[log<sub>2</sub><i>N</i> + 2]) arithmetic operations—mostly additions or subtractions—are needed in order to recover the spectrum; a conventional procedure requires <i>O</i>(2<i>N</i><sup>2</sup>) operations. Preliminary work for this method is minimal, requiring <i>O(N</i>) operations as opposed to <i>O(N</i><sup>3</sup>) for a conventional procedure; this work needs to be done only once for a given spectrometer. The spectrum-estimate obtained is unbiased.
