I am trying to implement an algorithm proposed in an old research paper by Ephraim and Malah for my DSP course project. I hope someone can help me with this difficult question. For the clean signal Amplitude Estimator, they used the following equation:

enter image description here

I understand most of the variables in the equation except the Bessel function stuff. Why did they use a Bessel function in here? and most importantly, how can I implement it in Matlab?

The Bessel function just turns up as a result of the MMSE estimation problem given the assumed statistical model (cf. Appendix A of the paper). This modified Bessel function is implemented in Matlab as besseli.

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you very much for replying to me Matt. I looked into Appendix A and also read about Bessli function in general and in matlab in specific, but I didn't know how to use it for zero-order and first order. Both have the same index of (vk/2), so in matlab I did besseli(0,vk/2) and besseli(1,vk/2) for I0(vk/2) and I1(vk/2) respectively! Is this correct?!!! Please let me know $\endgroup$
