Abstract
Time delay estimation procedures under conditions arising in multipath propagation are examined. The Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) parameter estimation strategy is applied to the estimation of either wavefront shape or array shape from acoustic measurements. The propagation conditions of (1) single path, incoherent wavefront, (2) incoherent multipath, and (3) coherent multipath are considered. Upper bounds on the MAP estimation criterion function are obtained.
