Objective
Statistical array signal processing deals with processing the output data of an array of antennas. The purpose is to obtain insight into the structure of waves carrying information and traversing the array. More precisely, location and velocity parameters of sources or targets that generate or reflect signals have to be estimated. The information of the signals also has to be recovered. Important applications are radar, satellite, and mobile communication because problems arise with the increasing number of interfering sources. Recent progress in computer and integrated circuit technology allows the implementation of sophisticated array signal processing algorithms with low weight at moderate cost. High-density air traffic control and synthetic aperture radar are other fields of application. The aim of this joint research project is to exchange knowledge in statistical array signal processing and elaborate solutions for applications.
The project will study the following critical research problems of special interest: robust adaptive antennas with respect to system and control errors; fast adapting algorithms in non-stationary environments; stable and parallel, real time algorithms for adaptive arrays; and high-resolution parameter estimates for separating closely spaced sources.
