A Highly Accurate and Low Bias SNR Estimator: Algorithm and Implementation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimators are required for many radio engineering applications. In this paper, a SNR estimator based on the first and second order moments is derived and examined for constant envelope modulations over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Firstly, a modification method is proposed to reduce the bias of conventional first and second order moments based SNR estimator. Then, in order to reduce hardware implementation complexity, multi segments of cubic polynomial are utilized to approximate the nonlinear inverse function of the proposed SNR estimator. The approximate expression is very precise in the SNR range from -10dB to 20 dB as illustrated by numerical simulation results. Besides, practical hardware circuit is proposed for FPGA implementation. Simulation results show that the proposed SNR estimator has the lower normalized bias and variance when compared with two other classic estimators.

The true MR signal intensity extracted from noisy MR magnitude images is biased with the Rician noise caused by noise rectification in the magnitude calculation for low intensity pixels. This noise is more problematic when a quantitative analysis is performed based on the magnitude images with low SNR(<3.0). In such cases, the received signal for both the real and imaginary components will fluc...
متن کاملOn Convergence and Bias Correction of a Joint Estimation Algorithm for Multiple Sinusoidal Frequencies (Complete Version)
Twenty years ago Kay (1984) proposed an iterative filtering algorithm (IFA) for jointly estimating the frequencies of multiple complex sinusoids from noisy observations. It is based on the fact that the noiseless signal is an autoregressive (AR) process, so the frequency estimation problem can be reformulated as the problem of estimating the AR coefficients. By iterating the cycle of AR coeffic...

In this report, we propose a new scheme in order to implement an MMSE channel estimator for OFDM systems. We know that the time domain maximum likelihood estimator (MSE) can achieve highly accurate impulse response estimation by using a time domain long preamble of an OFDM frame. On the other hand, the impulse response estimation based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion can achie...

This paper presents a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation algorithm for advanced DVB-RCS systems using adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) in the reverse link of broadband satellite systems. Due to the absence of a repetitive pilot symbol structure, SNR estimation has to be performed using the fixed symbol preamble data. Moreover, sporadic nature of data traffic on the return link causes va...
