Abstract
In this paper, we study the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) for time reversal (TR) based direction of arrival (DOA) estimators operating in a rich multipath environment. Our setup is based on an array of active antennas capable of estimating the range and DOA of a passive target. We derive an analytical expression for the CRB of the TR/DOA estimator and compare it with that of the conventional DOA estimator by expressing the two CRBs in terms of the multipath parameters (multipath's attenuations and delays). Our analytical results are verified by running Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) simulations using the electromagnetic Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) models. Our simulations illustrate the potential of superior performance with gains of up to 15 dB possible with the TR/DOA estimator over the conventional approach.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
