Beamspace Maximum Likelihood Algorithm Based on Sum and Difference Beams for Elevation Estimation
June 2024 • Sheng Chen, Yongbo Zhao, Yili Hu, Xiaojiao Pang
Beamspace super-resolution methods for elevation estimation in multipath environment has attracted significant attention, especially the beamspace maximum likelihood (BML) algorithm. However, the difference beam is rarely used in super-resolution methods, especially in low elevation estimation. The target airspace information in the difference beam is different from the target airspace information in the sum beam. And the use of difference beams does not significantly increase the complexity of the system and algo…
