Parametric Cumulant Based Phase Estimation Of 1-D And 2-D Nonminimum Phase Systems By Allpass Filter - Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on

This paper proposes a parametric cumulant-based phase-estimation method for one-dimensional (1-D) and twodimensional (2-D) linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with only non-Gaussian measurements corrupted by additive Gaussian noise. The given measurements are processed by an optimum allpass filter such that a single M th-order (M 3) cumulant of the allpass filter output is maximum in absolute value. It can be shown that the phase of the unknown system of interest is equal to the negative of the phase of the optimum allpass filter except for a linear phase term (a time delay). For the phase estimation of 1-D LTI systems, an iterative 1-D algorithm is proposed to find the optimum allpass filter modeled either by an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model or by a Fourier series-based model. For the phase estimation of 2-D LTI systems, an iterative 2-D algorithm is proposed that only uses the Fourier series-based allpass model. A performance analysis is then presented for the proposed cumulant-based 1-D and 2-D phase estimation algorithms followed by some simulation results and experimental results with real speech data to justify their efficacy and the analytic results on their performance. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion and some conclusions.
