ESTIMATION OF DOPPLER SHIFT AND SPECTRAL WIDTH OF A RANDOM PROCESS

Abstract

The estimation of the Doppler shift. frequency scale factor and amplitude of the spectrum of a stationary Gaussian random process from a record of limited duration is considered. With the approximation that the coefficients of the Fourier series expansion of a realization of long time duration are independent, maximum likelihood estimates are derived and the Cramer-Rao lower bounds to the variances are evaluated.
