Abstract
The effectiveness of the projection minimal polynomial method for solving the problem of determining the number of sources of signals acting on an antenna array (AA) with an arbitrary configuration and their angular directions has been studied. The method proposes estimating the degree of the minimal polynomial of the correlation matrix (CM) of the input process in the AA on the basis of a statistically validated root-mean-square criterion. Special attention is paid to the case of the ultrashort sample of the input process when the number of samples is considerably smaller than the number of AA elements, which is important for multielement AAs. It is shown that the proposed method is more effective in this case than methods based on the AIC (Akaike’s Information Criterion) or minimum description length (MDL) criterion.
