Algorithm of Robust Frequency Estimation in a Channel with White Gaussian Noise and Pulse Interferences

Resumo

An algorithm for robust frequency estimation in a channel with additive white Gaussian noise and pulse interference is proposed. The algorithm involves iterative elimination of pulse interferences and subsequent calculation of the maximum likelihood estimate. It is demonstrated that the proposed filter-cleaner differs from the well-known Martin–Thomson filter in the functional dependence of adaptive coefficients on the estimates of parameters of distributions of the linear prediction error and the amplitude envelope of the signal. The results of mathematical modeling and numerical estimation of the threshold point of the method (0.49) are presented.
