Abstract

This paper introduces two new time-frequency analysis methods originated from the minimum variance spectral estimation (MVSE) for nonstationary time-series. First, a windowed MVSE (WMVSE) extends the conventional MVSE by windowing the observation data to obtain a timefrequency distribution for the time-series. Moreover, the window lengths are selected adaptively by the intersection of confidence intervals (ICI) rule to improve the time-frequency resolution. Secondly, a new recursive MVSE (RMVSE) is developed to process the input samples recursively at a lower arithmetic complexity for online time-frequency analysis. Simulation results show that the proposed WMVSE with adaptive windows offers better frequency resolutions than the Fourier-transformed-based time-frequency distributions, and the RMVSE has a good performance when tracking sinusoidal signals.
