In order to break through the bandwidth limitation of digital instantaneous frequency measurement for a real-valued waveform, we developed a frequency estimator with a high dynamic range and low computation cost using multiple sub-Nyquist ADC channels. The procedures of the proposed scheme are as follows: 1) Perform zero-crossing detection on the real-valued signal and use multiple sub-Nyquist ADC channels to sample the output signal; 2) Take several samples of each channel to calculate the folded frequency; 3) Use the frequency residuals of each channel to reconstruct the frequency based on the Chinese remainder theorem. Finally, the algorithm robust analysis and simulation experiments are performed, demonstrating that the scheme of this paper has relatively good anti-noise ability and dynamic adaptability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
