Chirp-like model and its parameter estimation
share
We propose a chirp-like signal model as an alternative to a chirp model and a generalisation of the sinusoidal model, which is a fundamental model in the statistical signal processing literature. It is observed that the proposed model can be arbitrarily close to the chirp model. The propounded model is similar to a chirp model in the sense that here also the frequency changes linearly with time. However, the parameter estimation of a chirp-like model is simpler compared to a chirp model. In this paper, we consider the least squares and the sequential least squares estimation procedures and study the asymptotic properties of these proposed estimators. These asymptotic results are corroborated through simulation studies and analysis of four speech signal data sets have been performed to see the effectiveness of the proposed model, and the results are quite encouraging.
