Instantaneous frequency estimators of FM signals: Performance under models of multiplicative noise

Abstract

This paper presents a study on the performance of instantaneous frequency estimators of mono-component FM signals, including a single-tone sinusoid, under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) with different kinds of multiplicative noise. For single-tone signals, two main estimators are considered: maximum likelihood (ML) estimator using Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) with interpolated peak estimation, and autocorrelation method. For linear and non-linear FM signals, peak of a specific time-frequency distribution (TFD), the periodogram, has been considered. Three statistical models of multiplicative noise are analyzed (Gaussian, Rayleigh, uniform). Simulation results showed that Rayleigh noise is less destructive than Gaussian or uniform noise with the same power; also, DFT is still better than correlation for IF estimation in terms of error and robustness against all noise models.
