  • Abstract
    The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is applied as a coarse estimator of the frequency of a sine wave in Gaussian noise. Probability of anomaly and the variance of the estimation error are determined by computer simulation for several DFT block sizes as a function of signal energy-to-noise density ratio mathcal{E}/N_0 . Several data windows are considered, but uniform weighting gives the best performance.
