  • Abstract
    In this paper, the alignment of noisy high-resolution radar signals using the maximum position method is studied. The relationship between the shift estimation and the signal-to-noise ratio is considered. As a result, two analytical expressions are obtained that approximate the root-mean-square error of the difference in the shift estimation with and without noise. These two expressions allow us to improve the understanding of the sensitivity to noise of the Maximum Position alignment method.
