Constrained notch filtering of nonuniformly spaced samples for enhancement of an arbitrary signal corrupted by a strong FM interference
The proposed method is based on exploring the concept of constrained notch filtering (CNF) as applied to any given arbitrary signal with time varying parameters. First, it is shown that any signal with a constant envelope such as FM may be transformed to a discrete sinusoidal one by applying a nonuniform sampling strategy. Second, a signal buried under a strong FM interference is retrieved by applying CNF in the transformed time domain. The main assumption made is that there exists an auxiliary input which provides information about the instantaneous frequency of the interference. >
