5 Radio Channel The signal propagation is corrupted by different obstacles that generate multiple replicas of the transmitted signal at the receiver: MULTIPATH The multipath components have different delay, attenuation, phase shift and angle of arrival. At the receiver the multipath components are summed (incoherently) and originate variation of the signal amplitude: FADING 5

14 Spectral-based Estimation These methods estimate the DOA by computing the spatial spectrum and then determining the local maxima. MVDR Estimator (Minimum variance distortionless response) This is the Minimum Variance method of spectrum estimation: it assumes the DoA estimate of a point source (assuming all other sources as interferences) as the value ϑ that maximizes the following expression a(ϑ) 1 ( ϑ) = 1 a ( ϑ) R a P H ( ϑ ) is the scanning vector for varying values of angle (it has the same form as the steering vector) π ϑ 2

15 MUSIC algorithm (Multiple Signal Classification) - Very simple (conceptually) - Based on eigenstructure method - This method relies on the properties of the correlation matrix, R : the space spanned by its eigenvectors may be partitioned into two orthogonal subspaces, named the signals subspace and the noise subspace the signals subspace is spanned by the eigenvectors associated to the L largest eigenvalues and the noise subspace is spanned by the eigenvectors associated with the M-L smallest eigenvalues of the correlation matrix (L directions estimation). the steering vectors corresponding to the directional sources are orthogonal to the noise subspace and are contained in the signal subspace.

17 SOME REMARKS A key issue for adaptive arrays in wireless is their behavior in LOS and multipath environments LOS number of antennas (M) greater than total number of signals possible to cancel M-1 interferers, if they are enough separated (!) Multipath impossible to form enough beams and nulls since total number of arriving signals exceeds number of antennas performance of the array depends on the total number of signals
