“…For example, when using a multipath radio channel, e.g., in MIMO systems [1,2], the number of radio paths is a priori unknown and should be determined. During the radar and acoustic-location (active or passive) observation, the case where the number of sources of the signals arriving at the antenna array is unknown is rather widespread [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. However, the problem of estimating the number of signals has not yet been completely solved.…”
