  abstract = {In a typical communications problem, Toeplitz matrices $\Phi$ arise when modeling the task of determining an unknown impulse response $a$ from a given probe signal $\phi$. When $a$ is sparse, then whenever $\Phi$ formed from the probe signal $\phi$ satisfy the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP), $a$ can be robustly recovered from its measurements via l1-minimization. In this paper, we derived the RIP for compressive Toeplitz matrices whose number of rows of the matrices $J$ is much smaller than the number of columns $N$. We show that J should scale like $J \sim S^2 \log(N)$, where $S$ is the sparsity of the impulse response. While this is marginally worse than the state-of-the-art scaling currently achieved in the literature, the novelty of this work comes from making the relation between the Toeplitz matrix of interest to a block diagonal matrix. The proof of the RIP then follows from using recent results on the concentration of measure inequalities of block diagonal matrices, together with a standard covering-and-counting argument.},
