In this paper, an estimation algorithm based on a shaped array is proposed without the need for mutual coupling matrix estimation. The estimation of the signal is accomplished by reasonably selecting two subarrays that are rotationally invariant under the influence of mutual coupling.","PeriodicalId":197691,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 10th Asia-Pacific Conference on Antennas and Propagation (APCAP)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117068240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
