Abstract
A method of locating a radiator is provided. A channel measurement vector is defined that includes a signal value measured at each of a plurality of antennas in response to a signal transmitted from a radiator. (a) A cell covariance matrix of a first cell from a plurality of cells defined for a region in which the radiator is located is selected. (b) A likelihood value that the radiator is located in the first cell is calculated using the selected cell covariance matrix and the defined channel measurement vector. (a) and (b) are repeated with each cell of the plurality of cells as the first cell. A cell location of the radiator is selected based on the calculated likelihood value for each cell of the plurality of cells.
