Multivariate Signal Parameter Estimation Under Dependent Noise From 1-Bit Dithered Quantized Data
Onkar Dabeer, Elias Masry · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2008
Motivated by applications in sensor networks and communications, we consider multivariate signal parameter estimation when only dithered 1-bit quantized samples are available. The observation noise is taken to be a stationary, strongly mixing process, which covers a wide range of processes including autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models. The noise is allowed to be Gaussian or to have a heavy-tail (with possibly infinite variance). An estimate of the signal parameters is proposed and is shown to be weakly consistent. Joint asymptotic normality of the parameters estimate is also established and the asymptotic mean and covariance matrices are identified.
