Three More Decades in Array Signal Processing Research: An optimization and structure exploitation perspective

The signal processing community is currently witnessing the emergence of sensor array processing and direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation in various modern applications, such as automotive radar, mobile user and millimeter wave indoor localization, and drone surveillance, as well as in new paradigms, such as joint sensing and communication in future wireless systems. This trend is further enhanced by technology leaps and the availability of powerful and affordable multiantenna hardware platforms.
