Abstract
A computer estimates multiple angles of arrival of a target signal received by an array of commutated antenna elements. In one aspect, samples of a received target signal obtained from an array of communicated antenna elements and from an element in an array of reference antenna elements are processed to make maximum-likelihood-estimations of multiple angles of arrival at which signals are received by the array of commutated antenna elements; and a display is mapped over time and frequency of the estimations, with the angle of arrival for a particular sample being represented by a variable given display feature.
