I am looking for methods which are able to simultaneously estimate the frequency (f_i) and phase (p_i) of the mixture (superposition) the simple "sinusoidal" signals with additive noise: s_i(t) = A_i*cos(2*pi*f_i*t+p_i)+n_i(t) , where i=1,2, ..., N and n_i is additive gaussian noise. Michal

Hi Paul, I am looking for adaptive high-resolution methods. FFT is standard but not always suitable for this type of problems.

Hi Michal Ah OK - I missed the significance of the index i on f_i and p_i. So the frequency and phase and amplitude are all slowly varying within the observation period? What kind of SNR do you expect? - I think many of the hi-res algorithms require high SNR to get good results. Some also fail in the presence of correlated signals (eg. multipath). I'm not an expert in these areas, but my guess is that a few more details like this may help those who are provide the best guidance to you.

How often have we discussed the FFT, which is much more so than this? I was wondering about the answer to this question as well. A single sinusoid, well even I can estimate that. But simultaneously estimating multiple sinusoids of unknown frequencies??? Why don't you give the rest of us a little insight on how such and algorithm would operate. -- % Randy Yates % "So now it's getting late, %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % and those who hesitate %%% 919-577-9882 % got no one..." %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % 'Waterfall', *Face The Music*, ELO http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr

Does the technique have to be on-line? Or is it batched? Generally, if you have multiple sinusoids, you can just estimate the parameters (amplitude, phase, frequency) of the largest, regress it out of the data, estimate the second largest, regress it out, etc. for N total steps. Of course, if you want to do it on-line, then this is not really an option. Ciao, Peter K. -- Peter J.

I don't have Kay's book available, so I don't know what this "standard stuff" is, but I assume you are talking about frequency estimators like MUSIC, ESPRIT and so on. That kind of material is found in lots of textbooks and there are tens of articles published per year on MUSIC, with variations, alone. In my experience, the people who write articles and books about these types of techniques, do not always understand the (im)practical aspects of any given technique. In most presentations of MUSIC, there are usually two significant practical aspects missing. Occationally, one sees one aspects commented upon very breafly, but never both at the same time. I am thinking of the reason why the MUSIC "pseudo spectrum" has no physical significance whatsoever, and the importance of calibrating the sensor system properly. A more interesting observation is that papers that describe these types of methods applied to real-world data are simply missing from the journals. I have yet to see any article describing any frequency estimator being applied to real data in real environments in "production type" applications. Heck, I don't even know of any published real-world lab tests (as opposed to computer-generated synthetic data) with these types of techniques. I find this deafening silence with respect to practical applications and real-world results quite worrying. Rune

Well, ESPRIT has been used (and you could very well use MUSIC, I believe) for sinusoidal modeling and coding of speech and audio, and there are papers on this in IEEE Trans. on Speech and Audio Processing. Since different applications have different journals, no wonder that one does not encounter these in the more theoretical journals such as IEEE Trans. on Signal Processing. They don't belong there. From your post I take it, that these methods are not applied in your field. That doesn't mean that there aren't applications, though. -- /Mads (http://kom.aau.dk/~mgc)
