Practical Exercises
- Write a MATLAB code to estimate the radiation pattern of a linear array and N element uniform array
- Write a MATLAB code to estimate the AOA using MUSIC and ESPRIT algorithm
- Write a MATLAB code to estimate the weights of the array. Using the final weights estimate the array factor and the mean square error.
- Write a MATLAB code to dynamically alter the main lobe direction based on the information of AOA.
