A method for detecting useful signals in an overall signal. Each useful signal may be affected with a frequency drift. In the detection phase, frequency spectra for detecting the overall signal for multiple detection time windows are calculated and useful signals according to the detection frequency spectra are detected. In the estimation phase, for each useful signal detected: the frequency of the overall signal for multiple frequency drift values is reset. In the estimation phase, for each useful signal detected, a frequency spectrum is calculated for the estimation of the overall signal for each frequency drift value over an estimation time window having the useful signal detected and of a duration higher than the detection time window. In the estimation phase, for each useful signal detected, the frequency drift is estimated affecting the useful signal detected according to the estimation frequency spectra.
