A SIGNAL-SPECIFIC BOUND FOR JOINT TDOA AND FDOA ESTIMATION AND ITS USE IN COMBINING MULTIPLE SEGMENTS Arie Yeredor School of Electrical Engineering, Tel-Aviv University arie@eng.tau.ac.il ABSTRACT Therefore, after down-conversion to baseband, the continuous-time observation model is given by We consider passive joint estimation of the time-difference of arrival (TDOA) and frequency-difference of arrival (FDOA) r1 (t) = x(t) + v1 (t), −T ≤ t T of an unknown signal at two sensors. The classical approach 2 2 ´ r2 (t) = aejφ · ejνt · x(t − τ ) + v2 (t), (1) for deriving the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) in this context as- sumes that the signal (as well as the noise) is Gaussian and stationary. As a result, the obtained Fisher information ma- where x(t) is the (unknown) complex-valued source signal trix with respect to the TDOA and FDOA is diagonal, im- and v1 (t) and v2 (t) are additive, zero-mean, statistically in- plying that the respective estimation errors are uncorrelated dependent Complex Gaussian noise processes. a and φ are (under asymptotic conditions). However, for some specic the (unknown) absolute relative gain and phase-shift (resp.)
