  • Abstract
    A new method for estimating the frequency of a complex sinusoid in complex white Gaussian noise is proposed. Its computational complexity is comparable to Kay´s method [1989], but it attains the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) down to lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values. Simulation results are included to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.
