Spatial signature estimation for uniform linear arrays with unknown receiver gains and phases

• The problem of spatial signature estimation using a uniform linear array (ULA) with unknown receiver gain and phase responses is studied. Sufficient conditions for identifying the spatial signatures are derived, and a closed-Form ESPRIT-like estimator is proposed, The performance of the method is investigated by means of simulations and on experimental data collected with an antenna array in a suburban environment. The results show that the absence of receiver calibration is not critical for uplink signal waveform estimation using a plane wave model.
