Abstract

This paper considers the problem of estimating chirp parameters from a noisy mixture of chirps. While a rich body of work exists in this area, challenges remain when extending these techniques to chirps of higher order polynomials. We formulate this as a non-convex optimization problem and propose a modified Langevin Monte Carlo (LMC) sampler that exploits the average curvature of the objective function to reliably find the minimizer. Results show that our Curvature-guided LMC (CG-LMC) algorithm is robust and succeeds even in low SNR regimes, making it viable for practical applications.
