Abstract
Doppler signal spectral estimation has been used to evaluate blood flow parameters in order to diagnose cardiovascular diseases. The Modifies Covariance (MC) method has proved to provide accurate estimation of the two spectral parameters employed in clinical diagnosis, namely mean frequency bandwidth. The aim of this paper is to determine and efficient real-time implementation of the MC spectral estimator by investigating several architectures and implementation methods.
