SpectrumSolvers (formerly Rainbow) Description

SpectrumSolvers will offer users the possibility to calculate a Power Spectral Density (PSD) estimate based on 1 of several Steve Kay's Estimators. SpectrumSolvers has a menu of Spectral estimators from Steve Kay's textbook, titled "Modern Spectral Estimation", 1988. The results differ dramatically from one estimator to another. Plus, varying input parameter(s) and/or number of points may show discrepancies. Estimation methods in SpectrumSolvers include Autocorrelation, Covariance, Prony, Akaike, Burg, Recursive Maximum Likelihood Estimation, Modified Yule-Walker Equations and others. The results differ dramatically from one estimator to another. Plus, varying input parameters and/or number of points may provide discrepancies. Observe how zero padding effects your results. Manufacturing companies take note! Some estimators can detect signals 50 to 100 dB from main signal. See documented example! The unwritten rule of '30 dB is okay' (i.e. hidden) is no longer true.
