Simulation Analysis of a Target Angle Estimator
D.J. Kershaw · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1993
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.
