Toward a Standardized Multi-Sinewave Fit Algorithm

• Multi-sinewave test methods require algorithms for multiple-tone parameter estimation.There exist a vast amount of publications on the topic [1]. This paper presents a generalization ofthe IEEE four-parameter sinewave fit algorithm suitable to handle data comprising multiple sinewaves.The proposed method directly estimates the 3p + 1 parameters of a p-tone model. The algorithmis analyzed numerically with emphasize on its convergence properties and statistical efficiency. Theinitialization of the algorithm is of major importance and an attempt to formulate a proper initializationprocedure is presented.
