Cramer-rao Study of Scattering Systems in One-dimensional Space

چکیده
A Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) study is developed to characterize the information content about scattering parameters that is contained in reflective (R), transmissive (T), and combined R plus T wave scattering data. The analysis is developed for scalar wave scattering systems in onedimensional space, paying particular attention to elastic scatterers, which simplifies the signal model (relative to more general scattering systems), thereby allowing closedform expressions for the CRB for special cases. The derived CRB results quantify the effect of multiple scattering, be it in enhancing or in diminishing imaging capabilities, relative to the Born approximation model which is customarily used as the standard reference for resolution limits. The paper also discusses the role of the measurement configuration for scatterer information extraction (e.g., reflective data applicable to monostatic radar, versus transmissive data applicable to bistatic radar).

A Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) study is developed in onedimensional (1D) space which sheds fundamental insight onto the information about multiply scattering point-like scatterers that is contained in scattering field data corresponding to transmissive, reflective, and combined transmissive plus reflective sensing geometries, and singleand multi-frequency measurements.

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 کاملCramer-Rao bounds in the estimation of time of arrival in fading channels
This paper computes the Cramer-Rao bounds for the time of arrival estimation in a multipath Rice and Rayleigh fading scenario, conditioned to the previous estimation of a set of propagation channels, since these channel estimates (correlation between received signal and the pilot sequence) are sufficient statistics in the estimation of delays. Furthermore, channel estimation is a constitutive b...

In this paper, the maximal dissipative extensions of a symmetric singular 1D discrete Hamiltonian operator with maximal deficiency indices (2,2) (in limit-circle cases at ±∞) and acting in the Hilbert space ℓ_{Ω}²(Z;C²) (Z:={0,±1,±2,...}) are considered. We consider two classes dissipative operators with separated boundary conditions both at -∞ and ∞. For each of these cases we establish a self...
