This is a collection of articles written by members of the Underwater Acoustic Signal
Processing (UASP) Technical Committee. The first article, by DW Tufts, deals with the history …

The effects of sampling and quantization on frequency estimation for a single sinusoid are
investigated. The Cramer-Rao bound for 1-bit quantization is derived and compared with the …

Although measuring the deterministic waveform of a weak classical force is a well-studied
problem, estimating a random waveform, such as the spectral density of a stochastic signal …

We derive lower bounds on the variance of estimators in quantum metrology by choosing
test observables that define constraints on the unbiasedness of the estimator. The quantum …

Minimal bounds on the mean square error (MSE) are generally used in order to predict the
best achievable performance of an estimator for a given observation model. In this paper, we …

Parameter estimation of multiple sinusoids is one of the fundamental problems of signal
processing having numerous application areas, including wireless communications and …

It is well known that the ML estimator exhibits a threshold effect, ie, a rapid deterioration of
estimation accuracy below a certain signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or number of snapshots …

In this paper, a new class of lower bounds on the mean square error (MSE) of unbiased
estimators of deterministic parameters is proposed. Derivation of the proposed class is …

Frequency estimation of a 2-D complex sinusoid under white Gaussian noise is a significant
problem having a wide range of applications from signal processing, radar/sonar to wireless …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the nonasymptotic behavior of the maximum
likelihood method in the context of lacunar array processing. We derive an analytical …
