On the CramrRao bound for polynomial phase signals ?
Polynomial-phase signals have applications including radar, sonar, biology, and radio communication. Of practical importance is the estimation of the parameters of a polynomial phase signal from a sequence of noisy observations. Assuming that the noise is additive and Gaussian, the direct evaluation of the CramrRao lower bound for this estimation problem involves evaluating the inverse of a matrix. Computing this inverse is numerically difficult for polynomial phase signals of large order. By making use of a family of orthogonal polynomials, we derive formulae for the CramrRao bounds that are numerically stable and easy to compute.
