Statistics of the MLE and Approximate Upper and Lower Bounds - Part 1: Application to TOA Estimation [PDF]
In nonlinear deterministic parameter estimation, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is unable to attain the Cramer-Rao lower bound at low and medium signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) due the threshold and ambiguity phenomena.

Subspace Method-based Blind SNR Estimation for Communication between Orbiters in Mars Exploration
In Mars exploration the effective time of communication between orbiters is short, and the relative distance and gesture between them change fast. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimation is required in receiver to change adaptively the data rate in ...

A non-data-aided SNR estimator based on maximum likelihood method for communication between orbiters
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is an important metric for performance assessment in numerous scenerios. In order to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of the system performance, plenty of situations require the information of SNR estimate. At the same

Sensitivity and parameter-estimation precision for alternate LISA configurations [PDF]
We describe a simple framework to assess the LISA scientific performance (more specifically, its sensitivity and expected parameter-estimation precision for prescribed gravitational-wave signals) under the assumption of failure of one or two inter ...
