Angle and waveform estimation in the presence of colored noise via RELAX

Abstract

This paper describes how the RELAX algorithm can be used for angle and waveform estimation of narrowband plane waves arriving at a uniform linear array in the presence of spatially colored noise. The RELAX algorithm is both conceptually and computationally simple; its implementation mainly requires a sequence of fast Fourier transforms. Both numerical and experimental examples are used to demonstrate the performance of the RELAX algorithm for angle and waveform estimation.
