#### Abstract

Abstract:

This work investigates the parameter estimation performance of super-resolution line spectral estimation using atomic norm minimization. The focus is on analyzing the algorithm's accuracy of inferring the frequencies and complex magnitudes from noisy observations. When the Signal-to-Noise Ratio is reasonably high and the true frequencies are separated by $O(\frac{1}{n})$, the atomic norm estimator is shown to localize the correct number of frequencies, each within a neighborhood of size $O(\sqrt{\frac{\log n}{n^3}} \sigma)$ of one of the true frequencies. Here $n$ is half the number of temporal samples and $\sigma^2$ is the Gaussian noise variance. The analysis is based on a primal-dual witness construction procedure. The obtained error bound matches the Cram\'er-Rao lower bound up to a logarithmic factor. The relationship between resolution (separation of frequencies) and precision or accuracy of the estimator is highlighted.
