Double-Threshold Based Narrowband Signal Extraction
Johanna Vartiainen, Janne J. Lehtomäki, Harri Saarnisaari · 2005
A localization algorithm based on double-thresholding (LAD) is a computationally simple method for localizing narrowband signals in the frequency domain. The method does not need any a priori information about the narrowband signal. The localization is based on two thresholds. The lower threshold is used to compose adjacent signal samples into clusters whereas the upper threshold is used to detect signals. The LAD can be applied in narrowband signal detection as well as in interference suppression. The simulation results show that the LAD gives quite good localization accuracy and the LAD is able to determine correct number of narrowband signals even over 95% of the cases.
