“…As described in section 2.1, the JAFE algorithm involves three main steps, namely, SVD (singularvalue decomposition) of the data matrix, diagonalization of a set of EVD (eigenvalue decomposition) problems and the transformation of the eigenvalues into signal parameters. The first step, which is equivalent to finding the EVD of the data covariance matrix, is well studied in the literature [7][8][9][10][11], for the case of white Gaussian noise contaminated data model. In our case, however, since some data stacking techniques have been employed, the noise is no more white.…”
