Abstract
The fundamental problem of estimating the frequency of a sinusoid in the presence of additive noise is discussed. In particular, various techniques for the estimation and tracking of frequency when the signal-to-noise ratio is low but the sample size high are described. These techniques may be used to solve higher-level problems such as the localisation of an acoustic source by single sensors and arrays of sensors.
