A compressive sensor array (CSA) system and method uses compressive sampling techniques to acquire sensor data from an array of sensors without independently sampling each of the sensor signals. In general, the CSA system and method uses the compressive sampling techniques to combine the analog sensor signals from the array of sensors into a composite sensor signal and to sample the composite sensor signal at a sub-Nyquist sampling rate. At least one embodiment of the CSA system and method allows a single analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and single RF demodulation chain to be used for an arbitrary number of sensors, thereby providing scalability and eliminating redundant data acquisition hardware. By reducing the number of samples, the CSA system and method also facilitates the processing, storage and transmission of the sensor data.
