Determination of resonant frequency and quality factor for a sensor system

A method for determining sensor parameters of an actively-driven sensor system may include obtaining as few as three samples of a measured physical quantity versus frequency for the actively-driven sensor system, performing a refinement operation to provide a refined version of the sensor parameters based on the as few as three samples and based on a linear model of an asymmetry between slopes of the measured physical quantity versus frequency between pairs of the as few as three samples, iteratively repeating the refinement operation until the difference between successive refined versions of the sensor parameters is below a defined threshold, and outputting the refined sensor parameters as updated sensor parameters for the actively-driven sensor system.
