The New Approach to the Synthesis of Single-Channel Consistent Estimates of the Time Signal Parameters

Based on the introduced modification of a maximum likelihood method we suggest the new technique for synthesis of single-channel quasi-optimal processing algorithms of signals with multiple unknown parameters. We illustrate the proposed approach by the estimation of the appearance time and duration of a rectangular video pulse. We show that unlike technically complex multichannel maximum likelihood estimates, the single-channel quasi-optimal estimates of time signal parameters are consistent for the implementation. We also find the analytical expressions for characteristics of passed estimates which allow us to assess the reasonableness of the application of this or that processing algorithm in each specific case.
