Abstract
Estimates statistics of the first two power spectrum moments from the pulse pair covariance are analyzed. The input signal is assumed to be colored Gaussian and the noise, white Gaussian. Perturbation formulas for the standard deviation of both mean frequency and spectrum width are applied to a Gaussian shaped power spectrum, and so is a perturbation formula for the bias in the width estimate. Mean frequency estimation from interlaced pulse pairs is presented. Throughout this study, estimators from independent, spaced, and contiguous pulse pairs are compared to provide a continuum of statistics from equispaced tightly correlated to statistically independent pulse pairs.Keywords
