Abstract

A method for determining an angle of arrival (AOA) of a received signal is disclosed, comprising: generating a baseband information signal by mixing a received signal with a local oscillator (LO) signal, the received signal being an in-phase signal and quadrature signal uncorrelated with each other and derived from different input data sets; obtaining baseband signal samples of the baseband information signal having an in-phase signal sample and a quadrature signal sample; determining a transmitter phase offset based on an estimated correlation between the in-phase signal samples and the quadrature signal samples; performing a plurality of phase measurements using a plurality of antennas to obtain a plurality of phase measurements; correcting the plurality of phase measurements based on the transmitter phase offset to produce a plurality of corrected phase measurement; and calculating an AOA of the received signal based on the difference between the plurality of corrected phase measurements.
