Bounds on Doppler Frequency Estimation in Correlated Nonstationary Gaussian Noise

Abstract

The maximum likelihood estimates of target Doppler frequencies after target detection in the presence of correlated nonstationary Gaussian noise are presented. The Cramer-rao bounds on the Doppler for the nonstationary process are derived. It is found that in general the root-mean-square errors of the maximum likelihood estimates of the Doppler shift are very close to the Cramer- Rao bounds derived here. Keywords: Detection; Radar; Estimation; Doppler estimation.
