A Blind Parameter Estimation Method of Frequency Hopping Signal with Low SNR

In order to effectively estimate the parameters of the frequency hopping signals under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a blind parameter estimation method based on the modified discrete time Wigner-Ville distribution (MDTWVD) is proposed. We choose a low order Chebyshev polynomial as the kernel function for reducing the cross-term. Then, the parameters of the frequency hopping signals are finally obtained from the MDTWVD. The simulation experiment results show that the method used in this paper can effectively and accurately estimate frequency hopping signals parameters, especially under low SNR condition compared with other estimating methods.
