Abstract

The method for joint estimation of the frequency and rate of its change by differential-phasic measurements when processing coherent packets is proposed. A computationally efficient method for estimating the frequency and rate of its change for successive coherent packets of complex sinusoidal signals based on the optimal weighting of differential-phasic statistics is synthesized. The proposed estimates are calculated as a linear function of differential-phasic measurements and, within the framework of the accepted assumptions, the estimate is a linear unbiased estimate with minimum variance.

An explicit expression for the lower limit of the variance of the estimate considered is obtained, and a comparative study of the accuracy characteristics of the proposed estimation method with other similar methods is performed. A significant increase in the accuracy of joint estimation by taking into account the coherence of the processed signal packets is shown. The efficiency of the method at a moderately high signal-to-noise ratio is confirmed; at its values from 11.5 dB, an almost complete coincidence of the estimation RMS with its permissible lower limit is demonstrated.
