Contribution of Interharmonic Component on the Interpolated DFT Frequency Estimator

Daniel Belega, Dario Petri, Dominique Dallet
Abstract:
This paper investigates the contribution to the sine-wave frequency estimator returned by the interpolated discrete Fourier transform (IpDFT) algorithm of a small amplitude interharmonic component located at least one bin apart the unknown frequency. An analytical expression for the frequency estimation error is derived assuming that a maximum sidelobe decay (MSD) window is employed and its accuracy is verified through computer simulations. Based on the derived expression some useful remarks are finally drawn.
