Abstract:
The present invention relates to an array antenna arrangement comprising at least two antenna sub-arrays and at least one antenna element in each antenna sub-array. The array antenna arrangement is adapted for calculation of a total covariance matrix (R) of a received signal vector (x). The array antenna arrangement further comprises at least one switch, where the number of switches corresponds to the number of antenna elements in each antenna sub-array. Each switch is connected to a respective radio chain, and is arranged to connect the antenna elements of a respective corresponding antenna sub-array to the respective radio chain cyclically. At least one full switch cycle, comprising a set of received signals for each switch configuration, is carried out for a calculation of the total covariance matrix (R). The present invention also relates to a corresponding method.
