Abstract
An antenna processing method for centered or potentially non-centered cyclostationary signals, comprises at least one step in which one or more nth order estimators are obtained from r-order statistics, with r=1 to n−1, and for one or more values of r, it comprises a step for the correction of the estimator by means of r-order detected cyclic frequencies. The method can be applied to the separation of the emitter sources of the signals received by using the estimator or estimators.
Claims6
An antenna processing method that enables separation or angular localization of cyclostationary signals, comprising:
- receiving at an antenna with N sensors, a mixture of cyclostationary and cycloergodic signals from independent sources;
- making at least one nth order estimator including:
- generating an asymrtotically unbiased and consistent estimator of a cyclic correlation matrix for centered observations of cyclostationary and cycloergodic signals;
- and
- generating an asymrtotically unbiased and consistent estimator of a cyclic covariance matrix for non-centered observations of cyclostationary and cycloergodic signals;
- thereby allowing separation, or angular localization of the received signals using the at least one nth order estimator.
