this paper proposes a new method for parameter estimation of distorted single phase signals, through an improved demodulation-based phase tracking incorporated with a frequency adaptation mechanism. the simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared to the conventional sogi (second-order generalized integrator)-based approach, in spite of the dc-offset and harmon...

some of the most destructive accidents of 1980s and 90s which occurred in process industries were domino accidents. although domino accidents are among the most destructive industrial accidents, there are not much pioneering works done on quantification of them. the analytical formulation of the domino accidents is usually complex and need a deep knowledge of probability rules. even if the case...

Propagation of radio occultation (RO) signals through the lower troposphere results in high phase acceleration and low signal to noise ratio signal. The excess Doppler estimation accuracy in lower troposphere is very important in receiving RO signals which can be estimated by sliding window spectral analysis. To do this, various frequency estimation methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT can be adopt...

The paper addresses a problem of tracking multiple number of frequencies using Regularized Autoregressive (RAR) approximation. The RAR procedure allows to decrease approximation bias, comparing to other AR-based frequency detection methods, while still providing competitive variance of sample estimates. We show that the RAR estimates of multiple periodicities are consistent in probabilit...

Grid impedance estimation is used in many power system applications such as grid connected renewable energy systems and power quality analysis of smart grids. The grid impedance estimation techniques based on signal injection uses Ohm’s law for the estimation. In these methods, one or several signal(s) is (are) injected to Point of Common Coupling (PCC). Then the current through and voltage of ...

The frequency offset estimation is one of the most important tasks in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems. To estimate frequency offset, a periodogram-based estimator has been proposed by Ren [6]. The method consists of three estimation steps and gives an accurate results. However, in the second and third estimation steps, the maximum frequency offset that ca...

A new algorithm to estimate amplitude, delay, phase, and frequency offset of a received signal is presented. The frequency-offset estimation is performed by maximizing, with respect to the conjugate cycle frequency, the projection of the measured conjugatecyclic-autocorrelation function of the received signal over the true conjugate second-order cyclic autocorrelation. It is shown that this est...
