Summary: 
The modified covariance (MC) method provides a computationally attractive and closed-form solution for frequency estimation of a single real sinusoid. In this paper, the performance measures of the MC estimator, namely, mean and mean square error, are derived in closed-form and confirmed by computer simulations.
