Summary :

In many applications involving the processing of noisy signals, it is desired to know the noise variance. This paper proposes a new method for estimating the noise variance from the signals of autoregressive (AR) and autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) systems corrupted by additive white noise. The method proposed here uses the low-order Yule-Walker (LOYW) equations and the lattice filter (LF) algorithm for the estimation of noise variance from the noisy output measurements of AR and ARMA systems, respectively. Two techniques are proposed here: iterative technique and recursive one. The accuracy of the methods depends on SNR levels, more specifically on the inherent accuracy of the Yule-Walker and lattice filter methods for signal plus noise system. The estimated noise variance is used for the blind indentification of AR and ARMA systems. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method proposed here many numerical results are presented.
