Abstract:
The frequency estimation of complex exponential carrier signals in noise is a critical problem in signal processing. To solve this problem, a new iterative frequency estimator is presented in this paper. By iteratively computing the interpolation of DTFT samples, the proposed algorithm obtains a fine frequency estimate. In addition, its mean square error (MSE) analysis is presented in this paper. By analyzing influences of the selectable parameters on the estimation accuracy of the model, a method for choosing appropriate parameters is discussed, helping to reduce the estimation error of the proposed estimator. Simulation results show that compared with other algorithms with a comparable estimation accuracy, the proposed iterative estimator can obtain a root mean square error (RMSE) that is closer to Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB).
