Abstract
In this article, we present a novel autocorrelation-based frequency estimation algorithm for single-tone sinusoidal signals. In comparison to other state-of-the-art frequency estimation methods, the proposed one provides a better tradeoff between accuracy, complexity, and estimation range. In particular, the algorithm is able to achieve the Cramer–Rao lower bound for moderate and high signal-to-noise ratio, and its implementation is feasible even in resource-constrained microcontrollers, as those commonly used in the Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) applications and low-cost instrumentation. Finally, we investigate the performance of the algorithm in the case of a practical IIoT application, i.e., frequency estimation of unbalanced three-phase power systems, showing that it outperforms several other autocorrelation-based estimators.
