Summary: 
Space-time array manifold model is usually used in a fast fading channel to estimate delay for the radio location. The existing additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) estimation error model significantly overestimates the delay estimation. In this paper, we model the estimation error of the space-time array manifold channel impulse response (CIR) matrix as a correlated AWGN matrix and its performance is shown to be closer to the estimation error of practical systems than the existing model.
