Abstract

The peak of the polynomial Wigner-Ville distribution was proposed as an instantaneous frequency estimator for a polynomial frequency modulated signal. In this paper, we consider the statistical performance of such an estimator in the case of additive white Gaussian noise for a finite sample. It is shown that this estimator is unbiased and its variance is a function of the kernel coefficients of the PWVD. Results obtained by running Monte-Carlo simulations verify the theoretical derivations.
