What is it about?
Accurate estimation of the amplitude of a sinusoidal signal can be obtained if the phase is properly modeled or known. Otherwise, the amplitude is biased because of the noise. We show for the first time that the amplitude and standard deviation of a noisy sinusoid can be accurately estimated without any particular form of the phase.

Why is it important?
Conventional sine-fitting algorithms consider sinusoidal signals with well-defined phases (e.g., linear phase functions). On the other hand, our method works with sinusoids whose phase can be nonlinear, discontinuous, and unknown.
Perspectives
This work offers a new approach for sinusoidal signal processing. Since the encoded phase is not a hard restriction (the phase can even be unknown), potential applications such as automatic tuning of blind methods for noise filtering are possible.
