Potential Accuracy of Estimation of the Information Parameter of a Homodyne Laser Doppler Vibrometer Signal

Аннотация

This paper describes the analysis of the potential accuracy of estimation of the signal modulation index of a homodyne laser Doppler vibrometer with frequency modulation and known and unknown non-information parameters of the signal. The Rao — Cramer inequality is used to obtain expressions for calculating the lower bound of variance of the modulation index estimate and study its relationship with a signal/noise mixture. Recommendations on the choice of conditions for measuring the amplitude of vibro-displacement by the homodyne Doppler laser vibrometer are given.
