B. Halder et T. Kailath, EFFICIENT ESTIMATION OF CLOSELY SPACED SINUSOIDAL FREQUENCIES USING SUBSPACE-BASED METHODS, IEEE signal processing letters, 4(2), 1997, pp. 49-51
Both experience and analysis [1] show that the widely used subspace me
thods, such as MUSIC and ESPRIT, perform poorly when applied to estima
te closely spaced sinusoidal frequencies. This severely limits the res
olution of subspace methods for frequency estimation. In this letter,
we present a simple interleaving technique that significantly improves
the performance of subspace based methods in the case of closely spac
ed frequencies. Simulation results show that the improved performance
is comparable to the corresponding Cramer-Rao bound (CRB).
