Cramér-Rao bound for range estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we derive the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) for range estimation, which does not only exploit the range information in the time delay, but also in the amplitude of the received signal. This new bound is lower than the conventional CRB that only makes use of the range information in the time delay. We investigate the new bound in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with attenuation by employing both narrowband (NB) signals and ultra-wideband (UWB) signals. For NB signals, the new bound can be 3dB lower than the conventional CRB under certain conditions. However, there is not much difference between the new bound and the conventional CRB for UWB signals. Further, shadowing effects are added into the data model. Several CRB-like bounds for range estimation are derived to take these shadowing effects into account.

Analysis of the Cramér-Rao Bound in the Joint Estimation of Astrometry and Photometry
In this paper, we use the Cramér-Rao lower uncertainty bound to estimate the maximum precision that could be achieved on the joint simultaneous (or two-dimensional) estimation of photometry and astrometry of a point source measured by a linear CCD detector array. We develop exact expressions for the Fisher matrix elements required to compute the Cramér-Rao bound in the case of a source with a G...
متن کاملCramér-Rao Bounds for Estimation of Linear System Noise Covariances
The performance of Kalman filter depends directly on the noise covariances, which are usually not known and need to be estimated. Several estimation algorithms have been published in past decades, but the measure of estimation quality is missing. The Cramér-Rao bounds represent limitation of quality of parameter estimation that can be obtained from given data. In this article, The Cramér-Rao bo...
متن کاملZiv-Zakai error bounds for quantum parameter estimation.
I propose quantum versions of the Ziv-Zakai bounds as alternatives to the widely used quantum Cramér-Rao bounds for quantum parameter estimation. From a simple form of the proposed bounds, I derive both a Heisenberg error limit that scales with the average energy and a limit similar to the quantum Cramér-Rao bound that scales with the energy variance. These results are further illustrated by ap...
متن کاملThe Cramér-rao Bound for Estimation of Continuous-time Arx Parameters from Irregularly Sampled Data
The Cramér-Rao bound for estimation of parameters in continuous-time ARX models from irregularly sampled data is computed. In the derivation, the Slepian-Bangs formula is used together with a state space framework, resulting in a closed form expression for the Cramér-Rao bound. Copyright c ©2005 IFAC
متن کاملCovariance , Subspace , and Intrinsic Cramér - Rao Bounds Steven
Cramér-Rao bounds on estimation accuracy are established for estimation problems on arbitrary manifolds in which no set of intrinsic coordinates exists. The frequently encountered examples of estimating either an unknown subspace or a covariance matrix are examined in detail. The set of subspaces, called the Grassmann manifold, and the set of covariance (positive-definite Hermitian) matrices ha...
