Optimum Space-Time Signal Processing and Parameter Estimation

摘要

A general-decision theoretic procedure for the design of optimum space-time signal processors is developed. Each antenna element output is processed separately before summing. The parameters for groups of 1, 2, . . . , n targets are estimated, followed by hypothesis testing to decide which group is most likely. Block diagrams for one-and two-target estimators of angular location are derived. The technique can be extended to more than two targets.
