The instantaneous frequency (IF) of a signal is a parameter which is of significant practical importance, since in many situations it corresponds to some physical phenomenon. This paper considers the definition of the IF, describes a number of ways of estimating it (along with a consideration of how closely the estimates are likely to correspond to physical reality), and presents two applications where IF estimation is used.
