Abstract :
We present accurate simplifications of the Rife and Boorstyn (1974) performance equations for the maximum likelihood estimator of frequency. The simplicity of the result allows quick calculation of the onset of threshold as a function of sample size and signal to noise ratio (SNR). The accuracy of the new expression is demonstrated via simulation
