Quasi-maximum-Likelihood Estimator of PPS on the Uniform Linear Array

In this paper, an idea from the quasi-maximum-likelihood (QML) algorithm has been applied to estimation of the direction of arrival (DOA) and parameters of the polynomial phase signals (PPS) impinging on the uniform linear array. The algorithm uses a search over a set of possible DOA values. For considered value, the DOA is compensated and resulted signal parameters are estimated using the original QML approach. In this way, several sets of...
