Abstract

A method of analyzing a spectrum of one-dimensional or multi-dimensional signal X(t) requires a number of steps including deriving coefficients [A(ω), B(ω)] of an Lp-norm harmonic regression of the signal with 0<p≦∞ and p≠2, squaring the coefficients, summing the squared coefficients, and scaling the summed, squared coefficients with a constant c to realize a periodogram of X(t) as L(ω)=c{[A(ω)]+[B(ω)]}. The method may include receiving the signal X(t), storing the received signal X(t), and outputting the periodogram L(ω). The method may still further include scanning to maximize the periodogram L(ω) by identifying its largest peak(s) and comparing the amplitude of the identified largest peak(s) with a threshold to determine if the largest peak(s) is(are) attributable to a presence of a periodic signal.
