The expanding may include interleaving receiver samples. Also provided is a method and associated system comprising creating a waveform having a bandwidth and predicting samples obtainable by sampling the waveform at a rate which is a multiple of the bandwidth. Two groups of predicted samples are defined and first/second time-offset pulses are generated based upon the first/second predicted samples.
