Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Signal’s Parameters Estimation Bounds

Abstract

The article discusses the problems of direct spread spectrum signal’s parameters estimation and estimation performance analyzing. The achieved estimation variances compared with the corresponding Cramer ‒ Rao bounds as a rule. The proposed approach makes it possible to determine the bounds for signals of various types of modulation and spectral characteristics. The dependences of the Cramer ‒ Rao bounds on the signal-to-noise ratio, the spread spectrum sequence length and the duration of the observation interval are presented.
