The true Cramer-Rao bound for estimating the time delay of a linearly modulated waveform
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this contribution we consider the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) for the estimation of the time delay of a noisy linearly modulated signal with random data symbols. In spite of the presence of the nuisance parameters (i.e., the random data symbols), we obtain a closed-form expression of this CRB for arbitrary PSK, QAM or PAM constellations and a bandlimited square-root Nyquist transmit pulse.

The true Cramer-Rao bound for estimating the carrier phase of a convolutionally encoded signal
This contribution considers the true Cramer-Rao bound CRB related to estimating the carrier phase of a noisy linearly modulated signal in the presence of encoded data symbols. Timing delay and frequency offset are assumed to be known. A general expression and computational method is derived to evaluate the CRB in the presence of codes for which a trellis diagram can be drawn (block codes, trell...
متن کاملPerformance bounds in Synchronization for low Signal-to-Noise Ratios
In this contribution we consider the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) for the estimation of the synchronization parameters of a noisy linearly modulated signal with random data symbols. We explore three scenarios, i.e., (i) joint estimation of carrier phase, carrier frequency and time delay, irrespective of the data; (ii) joint estimation of carrier frequency and time delay, irrespective of the data and ...
متن کاملImproved Cramer-Rao Inequality for Randomly Censored Data
As an application of the improved Cauchy-Schwartz inequality due to Walker (Statist. Probab. Lett. (2017) 122:86-90), we obtain an improved version of the Cramer-Rao inequality for randomly censored data derived by Abdushukurov and Kim (J. Soviet. Math. (1987) pp. 2171-2185). We derive a lower bound of Bhattacharya type for the mean square error of a parametric function based on randomly censor...
متن کاملOptimization of Delay Tracking Loops for Binary Modulated Systems
Optimal performance of delay tracking loops in a binary linearly-modulated system is investigated, which is compared with the Cramer-Rao lower bound and the performance of a tracking loop suggested by the maximumlikelihood timing estimation.

This paper proceeds directions of arrival (DOA) estimation by a linear array. These years, some algorithms, e.g. Khatri-Rao approach, Nested array, Dynamic array have been proposed for estimating more DOAs than sensors. These algorithms can merely estimate uncorrelated sources. For Khatri-Rao approach, this is due to the fact that Khatri-Rao product discard the non-diagonal entries of the corre...
