Novel Interpolation Method of Multi-DFT-Bins for Frequency Estimation of Signal with Parameter Step Change
PublicationThe IpDFT(Interpolation Discrete Fourier Trans-form) method is one of the most commonly used non-parametric methods. However, when a parameter (frequency, amplitude or phase) step changes in the DFT period, the DFT coefficients will be distorted seriously, resulting in the large estimation error of the IpDFT method. Hence, it is a key challenge to find an IpDFT method, which not only can eliminate the effect of the step-changed...
