Detailed Documentation

When incident signal angles are specified as -22°, 6°, and 18°, various spatial spectrum estimation algorithms can be employed to generate corresponding curve plots under different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. These plots facilitate analysis of signal characteristics and algorithm performance across varying noise environments. Through comparative evaluation of these curves, we can assess algorithm effectiveness at different angles and SNR levels, enabling optimal algorithm selection for signal processing and analysis tasks. Key implementation considerations include covariance matrix computation using sample matrix inversion, eigenvalue decomposition for noise subspace identification in MUSIC algorithm, and spatial smoothing techniques for coherent signal scenarios. The code implementation typically involves array signal preprocessing, direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation function calls, and visualization routines for spectrum peak detection.
