Passive sonar systems are used for estimating the range and bearing of signal sources, such as ships or submarines. In this study, the Cramer-Rao bounds on estimation errors are used as measures of the accuracy of the estimates. The bounds show how parameters such as observation time, signal bandwidth, signal-to-noise ratio, and array geometry can be chosen to obtain maximum accuracy. When the array geometry satisfies certain conditions, the bound for range estimate is shown to be independent of the actual source bearing and the bound for bearing estimate independent of both the range and bearing of the source. It is also shown that the same conditions on array geometry ensure that the range or bearing estimation accuracy is not degraded when tne other pammeter is not known.
