Optimal Windows for Sine-Wave Amplitude Estimation by the Energy-Based Method
Résumé
In this paper a criterion for the choice of the optimal window for the amplitude estimation of a sine- wave corrupted by a stationary white noise using the energy-based method (EBM) is proposed. The window is chosen by ensuring that the spectral leakage effect on the estimator accuracy is negligible with respect to errors due to noise. The proposed criterion is applied to several different settings, and some interesting conclusions are drawn. The effectiveness of the proposed criterion is validated by means of both computer simulations and experimental results.
