Processing of pulse sequence by the method of maximum likelihood estimation

A methodology of processing an arbitrary pulse sequence by the method of maximum likelihood estimation is presented. The expressions defining the optimum processing algorithms pulse sequence and expression for the variance of the amplitude and time of receipt are derived. The question of the resolution of two pulse sequences with different amplitudes and time of receipt is considered. The efficacy of the solution of the resolution of two pulse sequences is assessed. It is shown that the use of the correlation function eliminates interference from side peaks in the processing of the pulse sequence.
