Patent attributes
A system and method of determining the angle of arrival or departure using a neural network is disclosed. The system collects a plurality of I and Q samples as a packet containing a constant tone extension is being received. The I and Q samples are used to form I and Q arrays, which are used as the input to the neural network. The neural network produces a first output representative of the azimuth angle and a second output representative of the elevation angle. In certain embodiments, the neural network is capable of detecting a plurality of angles, where, for each angle, there are three outputs, a first output representative of the azimuth angle, a second output representative of the elevation angle and a third output representative of the relative amplitude. In some embodiments, the neural network is configured to determine the carrier frequency offset of an incoming signal as well.
