Abstract

A circuit and method for iteratively estimating Fourier coefficients of one or more Fourier components of a measuring signal utilizes a filter to determine the Fourier coefficients for sampling time k-1. The coefficients are utilized to obtain an estimate of the measuring signal at sampling time k. A subtractor circuit subtracts an actual sample of the measuring signal at sampling time k from the estimate of the measuring signal at sampling time k to obtain a difference signal. The difference signal is inputted back into the filter to determine an estimate of the Fourier coefficients at sampling time k.
