Abstract

Synthesis and analysis of the maximum likelihood algorithm for estimating the phase of ultra-wideband quasi-radio signal with unknown amplitude and phase are performed. Duration of the specified signal may amount to several periods or a fraction of the period of harmonic oscillation. Characteristics of the classical maximum likelihood phase estimate of a narrow-band radio signal are found when receiving an ultra-wideband quasi-radio signal. Applicability conditions of narrow-band radio signal model are defined for solving the problem of phase estimation with the specified accuracy.
