contents We perform an analysis supplementing the metrology toolbox in the time-frequency domain. While the relevant time-frequency-based metrological protocols can be borrowed from the spatial domain, where they have recently been well developed, their ultimate practical usefulness is shown to be restricted by limits put on the bandwidth of both the signal and measurements, as well as by the finite measurement time. As we demonstrate for the well-known problem of multiparameter estimation for two incoherent, point-like sources, the impact of these experimental limitations on the optimal protocol's efficiency can be detrimental. Nonetheless, we propose necessary operational criteria for attainability of the quantum Cramér-Rao bound under the discussed restrictions.
