ABSTRACT:
An accurate estimate of the amplitude of a sparsely sampled sinusoidal signal is obtained by filtering the squares of the sampled values of the sinusoidal signal with an adjustable notch filter in order to remove a double-frequency component at twice the frequency of the sinusoidal signal. This amplitude estimate, for example, is used for automatic gain control of the amplitude of the sinusoidal signal. Preferably, the notch filter is a digital filter for computing an output signal (v) from successive samples (x.sub.n, x.sub.n-1, x.sub.n-2) of an input signal (x) according to: v.sub.n =x.sub.n -.beta.x.sub.n-1 +x.sub.n-2. The frequency control parameter (.beta.) is computed, so as to automatically track the frequency of the sinusoidal signal, by integrating a product of a derivative (x.sub.n-1 -x.sub.n-2) of the input signal (x) and a derivative (v.sub.n -v.sub.n-1) of the filtered signal (v).
