Smooth Time-Frequency Estimation using Covariance Fitting

Brynolfsson, Johan LU ; Swärd, Johan LU ; Jakobsson, Andreas LU orcid and Sandsten, Maria LU (2014) 2014 IEEE International Conference on Acoustic, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2014) p.779-783
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a time-frequency spectral estimator for smooth spectra, allowing for irregularly sampled measurements. A non-parametric representation of the time dependent (TD) covariance matrix is formed by assuming that the spectrum is piecewise linear. Using this representation, the time-frequency spectrum is then estimated by solving a convex covariance fitting problem, which also, as a byproduct, provides an enhanced estimation of the TD covariance matrix. Numerical examples using simulated non-stationary processes show the preferable performance of the proposed method as compared to the classical Wigner-Ville distribution and a smoothed spectrogram.
