Wenjing Liao : Spectral estimation on a continuum (Nov 10, 2014 4:25 PM)

The problem of spectral estimation, namely – recovering the frequency contents of a signal – arises in various applications, including array imaging and remote sensing. In these fields, the spectrum of natural signals is composed of a few atoms on the continuum of a bounded domain. After the emergence of compressive sensing, spectral estimation was widely explored with an emphasis on sparse measurements. However, with a few exceptions, the spectrum considered in the compressive sensing community is assumed to be located on a DFT grid, which results in a large gridding error.
In this talk, I will present the MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm and some modified greedy algorithms, and show how the problem of gridding error can be resolved by these methods. Our work focuses on a stability analysis as well as numerical studies on the performance of these algorithms. Moreover, the MUSIC algorithm features its super-resolution effect, i.e., the capability of resolving closely spaced frequencies. We will provide some numerical experiments and theoretical justifications to show that the resolution length of MUSIC follows a power law with respect to the minimum separation of frequencies.
