Optimal localization of partially known signals in unknown noise fields

Most methods for sensor array signal processing require the covariance matrix of the background noise to be known. Various techniques for overcoming this limitation have recently been proposed. While most of these are based on assumptions on the noise, we present herein an alternative approach based on partial knowledge of the signals. Methods yielding minimum variance estimates for the model in question are presented and analyzed.<<ETX>>
