Why? Make sure you test whether MUSIC actually works as you think it does before you make any commitments on algorithms.

You are right. Since you expect exactly one sinusoidal, you need an covariance matrix of dimension 2x2.

Not at all. You need SVDs and bisection searches.

That's the black art. You need to *know* -- not "assume" or "believe" -- the exact upper limit of the number of sinusoidals.

Computing the SVD is an iterative process. You can't give a definite measure of complexity. Check out "matrix computations" by Golub & van Loan. Rune

Thanks all~~~appreciate your help^.^ The sine wave that i estimate is a mixed signal from 3 sine wave at the same frequency from a analog board , so it is just a "one" tone signal but may swing over time. SNR is somehow unclear(assumed to be 10 - 20db in simulation). So i assume MUSIC is suitable for this problem.(or to have sample rate/word length/number of points for one estimation/etc.. reduced to obtain speed/less hardware...) Is it an acceptable assumption? rhines

Randy and Jerry, I think you guys are exaggerating here.... I have used it, but I can't say that I have contributed to it. But I do get citations on that document that I hastily wrote a long time ago, so maybe I should try to clean it up! Thanks, Julius

Yeah, google "frequency estimation"

The top search result you will get is this:
http://www.dsprelated.com/showmessage/7716/1.php

You can also go to www.uspto.gov/patft and read US Patent 7124075

Probably an overkill for your problem...

Also, one should do some signal filtering or use SVD-embedding to get
rid of white noise prior to computing periodicity histogram.

Depends on your signal and your requirements. There are a lot of frequency estimation methods of various (some lower that MUSIC) complexity which may or may not work in various situations. I have listed about a dozen Q&D frequency estimation methods in the middle of this web page: http://www.nicholson.com/rhn/dsp.html (not on my list is offering a barometer to whoever is generating the unknown frequency :-) IMHO. YMMV. -- rhn A.T nicholson d.0.t C-o-M

Why do you need an FFT to do a MUSIC-type estimation?

At high SNR and high sampling rate, you can get good results just by counting the zero-crossings of the signal and averaging your count. Now, for MUSIC-type algorithms, if you only want one single tone estimate and your signal doesn't have much interference, there exists many simpler algorithms. Look up "frequency estimation" in google. Here are a few starters: http://home.comcast.net/~kootsoop/freqalgs.htm Hope that helps, Julius

Hallo everyone,

I'm new to signal processing and spectral analysis,
and I want to determine freqency of one single sin wave in white noise
with MUSIC algorithm and bring it on uC and FPGA.

e.g I decide to use the SVD approach(singular value decomposition) and
begin with sample data length N=256. Let p = 100 then i have a data matrix
of p x (N-p) = 100 x 156. (U,S,V)=SVD(A) on a matrix of this scale should
be done. Taking one vector of signalspace of V (p x p vector space which
spans signal&noise space) and do matrix-matrix multiplication using
512-point-FFT to calculate MUSIC spectrum and find peak. It seems rather
great complexity for Hardware implementation. (all goes well in Matlab) 

My question is: 
1. If it makes sense to use MUSIC algo(or its variants..) .(As far as I
know, MUSIC has advantage of high resolution...-.- and relatively low
complexity.)
2. How I can determine the variables: sample data length, p, and
others...
3. How to cope with SVD? (real or complex, which algo..., tatally no idea
of it's complexity in Hardware)
