M. Jian et al., PERFORMANCE STUDY OF TIME-DELAY ESTIMATION IN A MULTI-PATH ENVIRONMENT, Journal of circuits, systems, and computers, 7(6), 1997, pp. 599-606
A theoretical analysis of the performance of the maximum likelihood (M
L) time delay estimate in a multi-path propagation is proposed. An exp
ression for the probability of anomaly of the ML time delay estimate i
s obtained. Percentages of anomalous time delay estimates obtained thr
ough Monte Carlo simulation are shown to be in close agreement with th
eoretically predicted values.
