THE SINGLE-THRESHOLD SEQUENTIAL ALGORITHM FOR THE DURATION ESTIMATION OF THE MISSING RECTANGULAR RADIO PULSE
A single-threshold sequential algorithm of estimating duration of a decaying rectangular radio pulse has been synthesized. It was assumed that in the observed implementation the signal may be absent. A heuristic algorithm of estimating duration, which makes it possible to reduce analysis time of the observed implementation, has been proposed. The performance characteristics of a single-threshold sequential estimation algorithm has been found, and its accuracy with the accuracy of the known maximum likelihood estimation algorithms has been compared. We are shown that the reduction analysis time is possible due to decrease in accuracy of the evaluation of duration. The effect of a possible signal loss on the accuracy of estimate duration has been investigated.
