We consider signals and operators in finite dimension which have sparse time-frequency
representations. As main result we show that an S-sparse Gabor representation in ℂ n with
respect to a random unimodular window can be recovered by Basis Pursuit with high
probability provided that S≤ Cn/log (n). Our results are applicable to the channel estimation
problem in wireless communications and they establish the usefulness of a class of
measurement matrices for compressive sensing.
