Exploiting spectral leakage for spectrogram frequency super-resolution
2013
The spectrogram is a classical DSP tool used to view signals in both time and frequency. Unfortunately, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal limits our ability to use them for detecting and measuring narrowband signal modulation in wideband environments. On a spectrogram, instantaneous frequency can only be measured to the nearest bin without additional interpolation. This work presents a novel technique for extracting higher accuracy frequency estimates. Whereas most practitioners seek to suppress spectral leakage, we use mismatched windows to exploit such artifacts in order to produce super-resolved spectral displays. We present a derivation of our methodology and exhibit several interesting examples.
