In this letter, a construction of sparse measurement matrices is presented. Based on finite fields, a base matrix is obtained. Then a Hadamard matrix or a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix is nested in the base matrix, which eventually formes a new deterministic measurement matrix. The coherence of the proposed matrices is low, which meets the Welch bound asymptotically. Thus these matrices could satisfy the restricted isometry property (RIP). Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed matrices give better performance than Gaussian counterparts.
