John,
Does your model look like the one Achilleas described above, or is it
like the following?
s1(t) = A1*sin(w1(t-t1)+phi1); r1(t) = s1(t) + n1(t)
s2(t) = A2*sin(w2(t-t2)+phi2); r2(t) = s2(t) + n2(t)
In this model, you have separate observations of each sinusoid. i.e.,
r1(t) and r2(t) respectively.
Bob, Achilleas -
On an intuitive level, it seems to me that (ML) estimating the
parameters of s1(t) and s2(t) from r1(t) and r2(t) respectively, instead
of jointly from r(t) = s1(t)+s2(t)+n(t), would result in better
accuracy. Do you agree? At the very least, I think an adaptive
technique would converge faster if only three parameters needed to be
estimated instead of six. (Obviously, you would estimate both signals in
parallel to get dphi = phi1-phi2).
