Cramér-Rao bounds for determination of permittivity and permeability in slabs
Author
Summary, in English
We compute the Cramér–Rao lower bounds for determination of isotropic permittivity and permeability in slabs using reflection and transmission data. The results apply to three common measurement situations: free space, rectangular waveguides, and coaxial waveguides. The bounds depend only on the available data and not on the actual inversion method used, making them suitable to evaluate a particular experimental setup. The results are illustrated with several measurements in a rectangular waveguide setting.
