Simulation Analysis of a Target Angle Estimator

Abstract

Most underwater tracking applications require the estimation of target angle, whether in azimuth or elevation. In this note, the effect of integration time on the performance of a simple target angle estimator has been analysed via computer simulation. The simulated estimator mean is shown to match theoretical calculations of the mean of the estimator for time-bandwidth products from 5 to 100. Computed variance results are also presented. Some practical considerations for the simulation of narrow bandwidth processes are discussed.... Monte Carlo simulations, TBA, Target angle estimation, Signal to noise ratios.
