Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of high-resolution parameter estimation (harmonic retrieval) and model-order selection for superimposed sinusoids. The harmonic retrieval problem is analyzed using a nonlinear parameter estimation approach. Estimation is performed using several nonlinear estimators with signals embedded in white and colored Gaussian noise. Simulation results demonstrate that the nonlinear filters perform close to the Cramer-Rao bound. Model order selection is performed in Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise. The problem is formulated using a multiple hypothesis testing approach with assumed known a priori probabilities for each hypothesis. Parameter estimation is performed using the extended Kalman filter when the noise is Gaussian. The extended high-order filter (EHOF) is implemented in non-Gaussian noise. Simulation results demonstrate excellent performance in selecting the correct model order and estimating the signal parameters
