Abstract

This paper presents M-ESPRIT, a modified version of the ESPRIT algorithm, for the purpose of time delay estimation of backscattered radar signals. The proposed algorithm takes both the transmitted pulse shape and any noise into account. It can process raw data from experimental device without the preprocessing which would be required with the conventional ESPRIT algorithm.
