abstract = {A maximum likelihood ({ML}) estimator is developed for determining time delay between signals received at two spatially separated sensors in the presence of uncorrelated noise. This {ML} estimator can be realized as a pair of receiver prefilters followed by a cross correlator. The time argument at which the correlator achieves a maximum is the delay estimate. The {ML} estimator is compared with several other proposed processors of similar form. Under certain conditions the {ML} estimator is shown to be identical to one proposed by Hannan and Thomson [10] and {MacDonald} and Schultheiss [21]. Qualitatively, the role of the prefilters is to accentuate the signal passed to the correlator at frequencies for which the signal-to-noise ({S/N}) ratio is highest and, simultaneously, to suppress the noise power. The same type of prefiltering is provided by the generalized Eckart filter, which maximizes the {S/N} ratio of the correlator output. For low {S/N} ratio, the {ML} estimator is shown to be equivalent to Eckart prefiltering.},
