Robust Frequency-Selective Knowledge-Based Parameter Estimation for NMR Spectroscopy

Butt, Naveed LU ; Jakobsson, Andreas LU orcid and Somasundaram, Samuel D. (2008) 16th European Signal Processing Conference.
Abstract
In many magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)

applications, one strives to estimate the parameters

describing the signal to allow for more precise knowledge

of the analyte. Typically, MRS signals are well

modelled as a sum of damped sinusoids that has

properties that are partly known a priori. FREEK, a

recently proposed subspace-based parameter estimation

method allows for inclusion of such prior knowledge.

More specifically, FREEK assumes that there is a constant

frequency spacing (say Δ) between the damped

sinusoids, which is exactly known. However, any errors

in this prior knowledge will affect the accuracy of the

estimates.... (More)

sinusoids, which is exactly known. However, any errors

in this prior knowledge will affect the accuracy of the

estimates. Herein, we present an extension of FREEK,

making it robust to such errors by allowing Δ to lie

in a small interval and utilizing a robust estimate of

Δ in the estimation of the remaining parameters. The

proposed approach is numerically shown to provide

robust estimates of the sinusoidal parameters at various

noise levels in the presence of mismatch between the

actual and the assumed spacing. (Less)
