On Joint Angle and Delay Estimation in the presence of local scattering
Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):12 - 16
Cited by: Papers (3)We present a novel 2D-MUSIC algorithm that can jointly estimate the angles and times of arrival of multiple signals in the presence of local scattering. We focus on a scenario where the received signal is a sum of “clusters”, and each cluster is composed of multi-incident rays that show similar angles and times of arrival. The setting is composed of a Single-Input-Multiple-Output (SI... View full abstract»
