Direction of arrival
In signal processing literature, direction of arrival denotes the direction from which usully a propagating wave arrives at a point, where usually a set of sensors are located. This set of sensors forms what is called a sensor array. Often there is the associated technique of beamforming which is estimating the signal from a given direction. Various engineering problems addressed in the associated literature are as follows:
- Find the direction relative to the array where the underwater sound source is located.
- Direction of different sound sources arround you are also located by you using a process similar to those used by the algorithms int he literature.
- Radio telescopes use these techniques to look at a certain location in the sky.
