A Method of Computing the Inherent Accuracy With Which a Time Delay Can be Estimated
An approach to the problem of calculating the limits of accuracy with which a time delay between transmission and reception of a waveform can be estimated. After a summary of requisite results from the theory of statistical estimation, certain functions are evaluated which are necessary for applying estimation theory to the case of time-delay estimation; the advantages of this method are discussed.
