Various periodic signals can be detected with different techniques, for example low- and high-frequency signals. However, when there are facets of randomness about the signal, e.g. a changing phase, such methods become less sensitive, as long measurements average the signal to zero. Here, we propose and analyse a robust technique to detect the amplitude of these signals. Instead of measuring the amplitude in a conventional way, we measure a statistic, here the standard deviation. This method is robust against changes in phase and frequency. We analyse and simulate the technique in detail, and we perform an example measurement with a nitrogen-vacancy centre. We envisage that our method has potential for the detection of light dark matter, and for mineral search under harsh conditions.
