| Summary: | This paper presents a methodology to obtain the Fourier coefficients (FCs) and the derivative Fourier coefficients (DFCs) from an input signal. Based on the Taylor series that approximates the input signal into a trigonometric signal model through the Kalman filter, consequently, the signal’s and successive derivatives’ coefficients are obtained with the state prediction and the state matrix inverse. Compared to discrete Fourier transform (DFT), the new class of filters provides noise reduction and sidelobe suppression advantages. Additionally, the proposed Taylor–Kalman–Fourier algorithm (TKFA) achieves a null-flat frequency response around the frequency operation. Moreover, with the proposed TKFA method, the decrement in the inter-harmonic amplitude is more significant than that obtained with the Kalman–Fourier algorithm (KFA), and the neighborhood of the null-flat frequency is expanded. Finally, the approximation of the input signal and its derivative can be performed with a sum of functions related to the estimated coefficients and their respective harmonics.
