Abstract

The problem of sinusoidal frequency estimation in heavy-tailed noise environment is addressed. A method based on the robust M-periodogram is proposed. Specifically, a suboptimal coarse frequency estimate provided by the robust M-periodogram is improved using the modified dichotomous search. Simulations that consider most common heavy-tailed noise models demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms several recently proposed methods. The method can be readily extended to deal with multiple sinusoids.
