The '''autocorrelation technique''' is a method for estimating the dominating frequency in a [[Complex number|complex]] signal, as well as its variance. Specifically, it calculates the first two moments of the power spectrum, namely the mean and variance. It is also known as the '''pulse-pair algorithm''' in [[radar]] theory.
 
The algorithm is both computationally faster and significantly more accurate compared to the [[discrete Fourier transform|Fourier transform]], since the resolution is not limited by the number of samples used.
 
== Derivation ==
The [[autocorrelation]] of lag 1 can be expressed using the inverse Fourier transform of the power spectrum <math>S(\omega)</math>:
:<math> R(1) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} S(\omega) e^{i\,\omega\,1} d\omega. </math>
If we model the power spectrum as a single frequency <math>S(\omega) \ \stackrel{\mathrm{def}}{=}\ \delta(\omega - \omega_0)</math>, this becomes:
:<math> R(1) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \delta(\omega - \omega_0) e^{i\,\omega} d\omega </math>
:<math> R(1) = \frac{1}{2\pi} e^{i\,\omega_0} </math>
where it is apparent that the phase of <math>R(1)</math> equals the signal frequency.
 
== Implementation ==
The mean frequency is calculated based on the [[autocorrelation]] with lag one, evaluated over a signal consisting of N samples:
:<math>\omega = \angle R_N(1) = \tan^{-1}\frac{im\{ R_N(1) \}}{re\{ R_N(1) \}}. </math>
The spectral variance is calculated as follows:
:<math>var\{ \omega \} = \frac{2}{N} \left( 1 - \frac{|R_N(1)|}{R_N(0)} \right). </math>
 
== Applications ==
* Estimation of blood velocity and turbulence in ''color flow imaging'' used in [[medical ultrasonography]].
* Estimation of target velocity in [[pulse-doppler radar]]
