Title
Non-parametric data-dependent estimation of spectroscopic echo-train signals
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel non-parametric estimator for spectroscopic echo-train signals, termed ETCAPA, to be used as a robust and reliable first-approach-technique for new, unknown, or partly disturbed substances. Exploiting the complete echo structure for the signal of interest, the method reliably estimates all parameters of interest, enabling initial estimates for the identification procedure to follow. Extending the recent dCapon and dAPES algorithms, ETCAPA exploits a data-dependent filter-bank formulation together with a non-linear minimization to give a hitherto unobtained non-parametric estimate of the echo train decay. The proposed estimator is evaluated on both simulated and measured NQR signals, clearly showing the excellent performance of the method, even in the case of strong interferences.
