Abstract:

Parameter estimation of chirp signal, such as instantaneous frequency (IF), instantaneous frequency rate (IFR), and initial phase (IP), arises in many applications of signal processing. During the phase-based parameter estimation, a phase unwrapping process is needed to recover the phase information correctly and impact the estimation performance remarkably. Therefore, we introduce support vector regression (SVR) to predict the variation trend of instantaneous phase and unwrap phases efficiently. Even though with that being the case, errors still exist in phase unwrapping process because of its ambiguous phase characteristic. Furthermore, we propose an SVR-based joint estimation algorithm and make it immune to these error phases by means of setting the SVR's parameters properly. Our results show that, compared with the other three algorithms of chirp signal, not only does the proposed one maintain quality capabilities at low frequencies, but also improves accuracy at high frequencies and decreases the impact with the initial phase.
