Abstract

We propose a computationally efficient method for estimation of frequency of a single complex sinusoid at low SNR. This method is motivated by the cross-power spectrum method of Nelson (1993) and the weighted phase averager (WPA) methods of Tretter (1985), Kay (1988), and Lovell et al. (1991). We demonstrate that by a simple preprocessing, we can extend the threshold SNR of the WPA significantly. Further, unlike the WPA, the proposed method can be easily extended for estimation of frequencies of multiple sinusoids that are well-separated in frequency. We also derive the variance of the proposed estimator and provide simulation results comparing the proposed method with the WPA.
