Abstract

Adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) frequency estimation methods are utilized in a detection scheme to identify frequency in the log power spectrum. In addition, an adjustable window based on a Butterworth design is suggested for use in isolating the cosinusoidal frequency. The advantages and disadvantages of windowing are discussed. Also the problems associated with complex cepstrum processing are discussed as they relate to echo detection and delay estimation. Comparisons are made of the proposed processing methods using a standard broadband rectangular function with random noise added in addition to actual echoic data
