For the rec^uired signal estimation, alternative regularized least squares estimation techniques are proposed with significant improvement over the standard least squares techniques. Also, for the angle of arrival estimation of a large number of signals, a tree structured EM algorithm is proposed and compared with the conventional EM approach. Extensive simulation results are presented for comparison of the proposed algorithms with the current high-resolution methods of wide-band direction finding. In order to handle efficiently the case of available parametric prior models on the received waveforms, the required modifications are also given.viii, 49 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArray Signal ProcessingSource LocalizationWide-Band Direction FindingMaximum Likelihood EstimationSignal Parameter EstimationQA276.8 .C33 1996Expectation-maximization algorithms.Estimation theory.Thesis
