“…Results in the literature on estimation of PPS parameters are limited to the monocomponent case such as fast maximum likelihood (ML) [1], fast instantaneous frequency (IF) estimation [18], the dechirping algorithm [7], the nonlinear instantaneous least squares (NILS) [3], the well-known high ambiguity function (HAF) [19], [21]- [24], and its numerous extensions to timevarying and random amplitudes [8], [10], [11], [15], [16], [29], [31]. Other issues relating to monocomponent polynomial phase signal (mono-PPS) analysis include aliasing [2], nonuniform sampling schemes [13] and bootstrap model selection [32].…”
