This paper presents a comprehensive study of nonparametric estimation techniques on the circle using Fej\'er polynomials, which are analogues of Bernstein polynomials for periodic functions. Building upon Fej\'er's uniform approximation theorem, the paper introduces circular density and distribution function estimators based on Fej\'er kernels. It establishes their theoretical properties, including uniform strong consistency and asymptotic expansions. The proposed methods are extended to account for measurement errors by incorporating classical and Berkson error models, adjusting the Fej\'er estimator to mitigate their effects. Simulation studies analyze the finite-sample performance of these estimators under various scenarios, including mixtures of circular distributions and measurement error models. An application to rainfall data demonstrates the practical application of the proposed estimators, demonstrating their robustness and effectiveness in the presence of rounding-induced Berkson errors.
