  • Histogram for ambiguity visualization and evaluation (HAVE)
    Patent number: 7705781
    Abstract: A method is provided for constructing a histogram to represent the root-mean-squared phase differences for a signal received at pairs of elements in an array. A pair-wise element phase difference (“PEP”) between a signal received at an angle of arrival ?1 and a signal received at an angle of arrival ?2 are determined. The difference ?? between the differential phase measurements at ?1 and ?2 is computed. The process is repeated for all unique pairs of angles (?1, ?2) from 0 to 359 degrees and the results are summed over all PEPs to calculate the root mean squared phase difference ?{square root over (??2(?1,?2))} between two different angles of arrival ?1 and ?2. A two-dimensional histogram is created by pairing the measurements ?{square root over (??2)} and ??, where ??=?2??1.
