A linear algorithm for analysis of the dependences of phase shift on modulation frequency measured by the frequency-domain (phase-modulation) method is discussed. The analysis is made in terms of a model consisting of a sum of exponents adapted for use in the frequency domain. The algorithm is based on linearization of the model with respect to coefficients that depend on the estimated parameters followed by application of a linear weighted least squares method. The accuracy of the resulting estimates depends on the method for determining the weighting factors that are involved. Comparative testing of the operational quality of the algorithm is carried out for several methods of calculating the weighting factors and the reasons affecting their quality are studied. A way of calculating the weighting factors is proposed that enhances the efficiency of the algorithm.
