Abstract

The proposed work offers Phased Arrays operating in the Ultra-Wideband Range and integrates with various Angle of Arrival Methods i.e. MUSIC, Root-MUSIC, RWSF, MVDR and ESPRIT. A Uniform Linear Array of 4~30 antenna (antenna elements) with half-the-wavelength (inter-element spacing). Random noise is added to the Signal and then received by the Uniform Linear Array. Afterwards, the above-mentioned Angle of Arrival Methods have been applied to obtain the estimated value of the target in terms of angle. In the end, the RMSE of the estimated value is computed for validation purposes.
