F. Vanpoucke et A. Paulraj, A HARMONIC NOISE MODEL FOR DIRECTION FINDING IN COLORED AMBIENT NOISE, IEEE signal processing letters, 2(7), 1995, pp. 135-137
High-resolution algorithms for direction finding of narrowband sources
require a good estimate of the noise correlation matrix. We derive a
physically motivated linear noise model. It is based on a Fourier expa
nsion of the ambient noise field and is applicable to arbitrary antenn
a arrays. We also show that for contrived cases, a linear model may no
t be uniquely identifiable.
