Abstract:In this paper, a novel method, which employs the fractional Fourier transform and the Sigmoid transform, is proposed to estimate parameters of the linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal under the alpha stable distribution noise environment. Two novel functions, Sigmoid fractional correlation function and Sigmoid fractional power spectrum density (Sigmoid-FPSD), are defined. Basing on these two definitions, a novel method based on Sigmoid-FPSD under alpha stable distribution noise is proposed to estimate parameters of the LFM signal. Moreover, boundedness of Sigmoid-FPSD to the SS noise and the feasibility analysis of the Sigmoid-FPSD are presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Both theoretical analysis and simulations demonstrate the superior performances of the proposed approach over other existing methods. Furthermore, the proposed method does not need a priori knowledge of noise with higher estimation accuracy in alpha stable distribution noise environment.
