Abstract
Owing to the advantages of low cost and easy implementation, the 1-bit sampling technique attracts more and more attention recently. In many signal processing areas, such as in the direction finding problem, the complete analytical 1-bit signal is required to provide the instantaneous phase information, rather than the real-valued 1-bit signal. However, how to generate the imaginary component of the 1-bit signal continues to be an open problem in the literature. To this end, in this paper the concept of 1-bit Hilbert transform is introduced. Moreover, we propose an algorithm to construct the analytical signal for the real-valued 1-bit signal based on the 1-bit compressive sensing method. Simulations show that the proposed method can obtain the analytical 1-bit signal with a reasonable accuracy.

Notes
It is worth noting that the signum function \(\mathcal {S}(\cdot )\) defined here is different from the sign function \(\text {sgn}(\cdot )\) defined for 1-bit signals. In (3), \(\mathcal {S}(0)=0\). However, since there are only two status in 1-bit signals (+1 or -1), it is defined that \(\text {sgn}(0)=-1\) in this paper.
The Hadamard product of two matrices \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{B}\) of same dimension is defined as \(\left[ \mathbf{A}\odot \mathbf{B}\right] _{ij}=\left[ \mathbf{A}\right] _{ij}\left[ \mathbf{B}\right] _{ij}\), i.e., the elements of the resulting matrix are obtained by the scalar product of the corresponding elements of \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{B}\) matrices.
