Description:

The aim of the project is to develop a multidimensional and multivariate moment problem theory for spectral analysis problems. In this framework, the signal has a multidimensional domain (in contrast, in the classic case such domain is unidimensional and usually represents the time variable) and takes values in a multivariate space (i.e. the signal is composed by many channels). The project is motivated by the target parameter estimation problem in an integrated system of automotive radars installed in a car.


Fundings:

The project has been funded by the University of Padova.

Starting date of the project:
