Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for identifying components in a telecommunication system, which method comprises representing a uniform linear array, ULA, antenna, having at least two antenna elements, by an array factor polynomial comprising at least two terms, each term having a certain weight (Wk); setting said weights (WK) to desired values such that a desired antenna radiation pattern is acquired. Furthermore, the method comprises the steps: changing the desired weights such that a number of sets of desired weights (Wk) is acquired, such that the ULA antenna scans a spatial portion, a certain scan corresponding to a certain set of desired weights, analyzing a received signal (h) being represented by a received array factor polynomial having terms with certain received weights, which is parameterized by at least one pole; and using each corresponding set of desired weights (Wk) and received weights to determine the pole parameterization.
