It is the uni versal measure of the goodness of an estimator or a predictor in these fie lds\, and it is considered fundamental in mathematical statistics. Of a pl ethora of application areas\, we mention only channel state prediction\, s ignal-to-noise ratio\, mean-square-error\, symbol and frame estimation\, a s well as carrier phase\, carrier frequency\, and carrier amplitude estima tions. Yet\, the Cramér-Rao lower bound has severe limitations and shortc omings. Despite these disadvantages\, the CR bound continues to find wides pread application as the quality measure of choice in prediction\, estimat ion and detection research and in engineering practice. This is probably b ecause known alternatives to the CR bound are considered highly complex an d are thought to be much less simple to apply to practical problems in pre diction\, estimation and detection. The CR bound is universally expressed in discrete time with the number of “independent samples” as a paramet er. Meanwhile\, the number of independent samples is dictated (and without compromise) by the bandwidth and the frequency characteristic of the filt ering in the circuitry\, and the performance of the CR bound is dependent on the signal characteristics.\n\nSpeaker(s): Professor Norman Beaulieu\, \, Professor Norman Beaulieu\, \n\nRoom: 1151\, Bldg: EME\, 3333 Universit y Way The University of British Columbia (Okanagan Campus) Kelowna\, BC\, Canada\, Kelowna\, British Columbia\, Canada\, V1V 1V7 LOCATION:Room: 1151\, Bldg: EME\, 3333 University Way The University of Bri tish Columbia (Okanagan Campus) Kelowna\, BC\, Canada\, Kelowna\, British Columbia\, Canada\, V1V 1V7 ORGANIZER:Julian.Cheng@ubc.ca SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:A New Cramér-Rao Bound for White Gaussian Noise URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/45794 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The Cram&eacute\;r-Rao (CR) lower bound is ubiquitous in signal processing and communications\, finding application in wireless communications\, optical communications\, RF engineering\, dat a communications\, speech and image processing and biomedical engineering\ , for example.
