The interpolated fast Fourier transform: a comparative study

Abstract

The properties of five interpolating fast Fourier transform (IFFT) methods (IFFT) are studied with respect to their systematic errors and their noise sensitivity, for a monofrequency signal. It is shown that windows with small spectral side lobes do not always result in a better overall performance of the IFFT method and that time-domain estimators can be more efficient than the analyzed IFFT methods.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
