Algorithm for estimating the number of signal sources from multichannel-receiver data
Abstract
An algorithm is developed for making a decision concerning the number of N signal sources (N is equal to or greater than 1) located within the main lobe of the antenna radiation pattern. The algorithm is based on the comparison of the spatial signal sample at the output of the multichannel receiver with a specially formed reference signal. The efficiency of the algorithm is analyzed.
