Abstract :
This paper presents two fast and computationally efficient interferometric algorithms that allow high accuracy, unambiguous angle-of-arrival (AOA) estimates to be obtained using physically large wideband antennas that are suitable for electronic surveillance. The performance of the algorithms are compared against conventional interferometric techniques using simulations and are also verified experimentally.
