Abstract
In this paper, a 2 to 4 GHz Instantaneous Frequency Measurement (IFM) system is presented. The proposed design uses four band-pass filters to estimate the frequency value of an RF signal. The proposed design is an improvement of that presented in our previously published work. In this work, a new frequency estimator is developed, and a new methodology for designing the frequency response of the band-pass filters is proposed. These two improvements show better accuracy in estimating the frequency value. A closed form for the Standard Deviation (STD) and the bias of the new estimator were derived, and used to adjust the frequency response of the filters. The fabricated system showed a maximum error of about 11 MHz, for practical values of noise and measurements errors.
