Abstract
A new method of angle estimation of multiple targets using a distributed interferometric antenna array and wideband space-time modulation is presented in this work. Interferometric array measurements of angle of arrival are generally ambiguous in the presence of one or more targets. We propose a new method of mitigating ambiguities in interferometric measurements by multiplying the angle pseudo-spectra from multiple antenna baselines, resulting in detections at only the angles of the targets. Using a single linear frequency modulated (LFM) transmitter and a receive interferometric array with $N$ elements we show a simple and computationally efficient technique to estimate the angle of up to $\mathcal{O}(N^2)$ targets. We describe the theory behind the technique, present detailed simulations, and an experimental verification using a three-element millimeter-wave measurement system.
