KEYWORDS: LV distribution, local polynomial periodogram, chirp rate estimation
ABSTRACT: With the Lv's distribution (LVD), the chirp rates of linear frequency modulated (LFM) signals can be more accurately estimated for the local polynomial periodogram (LPP). Comparing to the estimation methods based on the polynomial Fourier transform (PFT) and fractional Fourier transform (FrFT), it is shown that LPP with the chirp rate estimated by LV's distribution effectively obtains better performance on instantaneous frequency (IF) estimation and energy concentration in the time frequency domain.
