Wideband maximum likelihood direction finding and signal parameter estimation by using the tree-structured EM algorithm
N. Cadalli, Orhan Arıkan · IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing · 1999
The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is presented for the case of estimating direction of arrivals of unknown deterministic wideband signals. Alternative regularized least squares estimation techniques for the required signal estimation and a tree structure for the data mapping in the EM algorithm are proposed. Extensive simulation results are presented for comparison of the proposed algorithms with the conventional EM approach and the current high-resolution methods of wideband direction finding.
