Generalized Matrix-Pencil Approach to Estimation of Complex Exponentials with Gapped Data

Abstract: A generalized matrix-pencil approach is proposed for the estimation of complex exponential components with segmented signal samples, which is very efficient and provides super-resolution estimations. It is applicable to the signals sampled segmentally with the same sampling frequency and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation with distributed arrays within which array elements are placed uniformly with the same inter-element spacing.
