Detection of the Number of Superimposed Signals Using Modified MDL Criterion: A Random Matrix Approach

Published in ICASSP 2016 - IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing, 2016

This work addresses estimating the number of superimposed signals from noisy observations of an N-antenna array when the number of snapshots L is of order N (so classical asymptotic regimes do not apply). Using random matrix theory, a modified Minimum Description Length (MDL) estimator is proposed that improves detection accuracy in this regime relative to classical MDL.
