Instantaneous frequency estimation in compressive sensing scenario

Abstract

In this paper, the instantaneous frequency estimation of nonstationary signals is considered. The instantaneous frequency is estimated from the timefrequency representation where certain percent of the coefficients is missing. The time-frequency representation is considered as an image, whose missing pixels are reconstructed by using compressive sensing recovery algorithms. As a time-frequency representation, the S-method is considered. The Compressive Sensing as a intensively growing novel approach for signal acquisition, ensures accurate signal reconstruction from relatively small percent of available information about the signal. The theory is verified by experimental results.
