Abstract

The Wiener-Levinson method and algorithm, formulated here in terms of Szegö polynomials ρ n N,I ;z) orthogonal on the unit circle, is used to find unknown frequencies ω j from anN-sample of a discrete time signal consisting of the superposition of sinusoidal waves with frequencies ω1,...,ω1. In a recent paper the authors (and W.J. Thron) have shown that zerosz(j, n, N, I) of ρ n N,I ;z) converge asN→∞ to the critical points\(e^{i\omega _j } \),j=1, 2,...,I, providedn≥n 0 (I)=2I+L, whereL is 0 or 1. The present paper gives results on the convergence of zerosz(j, n, N, I) to some of the\(e^{i\omega _j } \) for the case in whichn≤n 0 (I), wheren is the degree of ρ n N,I ;z).
