Contents I. Introduction
Analog Joint Source-Channel Coding (AJSCC) compresses two or more signals into one signal with controlled distortion [2]. We have been investigating the rectangular-type AJSCC and proposed analog circuit realization [3] and applied the proposal to health sensing applications [4]. The existing analytical research works on the topic of AJSCC are focused on the spiral-type AJSCC, studying the Mean Square Error (MSE) performance of spiral-type AJSCC [5]–[7]. There are further works on applying the spiral-type AJSCC to optical image transmission [8] and compressive sensing [9]. However, the theoretical performance of rectangular-type AJSCC has not been investigated in the existing literature. Because the rectangular-type AJSCC shows significant implementation advantages in our works [1], [3], [4], [10]–[12], there are strong motivations to investigate the analytical performance of the rectangular-type AJSCC in general wireless sensing scenarios.
