Analysis of the LAD Methods

A localization algorithm based on double-thresholding (LAD) has been recently proposed for localizing concentrated signal(s) in the frequency or time domain. The LAD method blindly detects and separates concentrated signals and estimates their characteristics. This letter presents a theoretical performance analysis of the LAD method and an enhancement of the LAD method: the LAD with adjacent cluster combining (ACC). The good detection performance of the LAD ACC method is confirmed both theoretically and numerically.
