This paper studies the optimum signal choice for the estimation of the aortic blood pressure via aorta radius using a monostatic radar configuration. The method involves developing the Cramer-Rao lower bound CRLB for a simplified model. The CRLB for model parameters are compared with simulation results using a grid-based approach for estimation. The CRLBs are within the 99 confidence intervals for all chosen parameter values. The CRLBs show an optimal region within an ellipsoid centered at 1 GHz center frequency and GHz bandwidth with axes of GHz and 1 GHz respectively. Calculations show that emitted signal energy to received noise spectral density should exceed 1012 for a precision of approximately mm for a large range of model parameters. This implies a minimum average power of MW. These values are .
