The topic touches on the concept of exact reconstructibility, most commonly known in compressed sensing and multisource estimation in various imaging problems. The theoretical results derive upper bounds on the number of recoverable parameters in the noiseless case, and a probability measure is defined to assess the probability of obtaining all non-zero parameters with correct magnitude order. The work provides a mathematical explanation of the open question regarding the noise robustness of standardized and unbiased methods. Also, the paper reveals a trade-off between the number of sensors and the signal-to-noise ratio. Numerical experiments demonstrate the theoretical findings.
