Integrated Framework to Study Efficient Spectral Estimation Techniques for Assessing Spectral Efficiency Analysis

The advanced network applications enable software driven spectral analysis of non-stationary signal or processes which precisely involves domain analysis with the purpose of decomposing a complex signal coefficients into simpler forms. However, the proper estimation of power coefficients over frequency components of a random signal leads to provide very useful information required in various fields of study. The complex design constraints associated with conventional parametric models such as Dynamic Average Model, Autoregressive MA, etc. for multidimensional spectral estimation using adaptive filters leads to a situation where higher computational complexities generate significant overhead on the systems. Therefore, the proposed study aims to formulate an efficient framework intended to derive a fast algorithm for processing Adaptive Capon and Phase Estimator (APES). The proposed method is applied to a non-stationary signal which is random. Further, the adaptive estimation of power spectra along with more accurate spectral efficiency has been identified in case of APES. An extensive performance evaluation followed by a comparative analysis has been performed by obtaining the values from different spectral estimation techniques, such as APES, PSC, ASC, and CAPON. Moreover, the framework ensures that unlike others, APES is subjected to attain superior signal quality regarding Power Spectral Density (PSD) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) while achieving very less amount of Mean Square Error (MSE). It also exhibits comparatively low convergence speed and computational complexity as compared to its legacy versions.
