Abstract
The method provides the capability to estimate the angle-of-arrival (AOA) of radar pulses with respect to a ground or airborne based platform. It utilizes a spectral estimation technique which extracts the periodic properties of radar signals whose time-of-arrivals (TOAs) have been tagged by an Electronic Warfare receiver. The method can be used in a multiple signal environment and can separate and individually measure AOA of emitters that are spatially very close but have incommensurate Pulse Repetition Intervals (PRIs).
