Multicomponent AM-FM Demodulation: The State of the Art After the Development of the Iterated Hilbert Transform

This paper presents the state of the art of the multicomponent AM-FM demodulation techniques. On the basis of exhaustive comparisons between the current best practices: the impact of the iterated Hilbert transform on the milestones and the pioneering results of several decades of the advanced research done between MIT, Harvard, Bell-Labs, and NASA, has been analyzed. Finally, past performance, open problems, and future trends of AM-FM models have been considered and discussed.
