RECEIVER COMPRISING ADJUSTABLE ANTENNA FOR ANGLE OF ARRIVAL ESTIMATION OF INPUT SIGNALS

Abstract: the disclosure relates to angle of arrival estimation of one or more input signals. the disclosure proposes a receiver and a corresponding method for operating the receiver. the receiver comprises one or more antennas, wherein each antenna is covered by a material with a controllable permittivity and/or permeability. the receiver comprises a controller configured to generate with each antenna a plurality of consecutive measurements of the one or more input signals, in order to generate one or more pluralities of consecutive measurements, adjust, for each antenna of the one or more antennas, the controllable material between at least two consecutive measurements of the plurality of consecutive measurements generated with the antenna, and estimate the one or more angles of arrival of the one or more input signals based on the one or more pluralities of consecutive measurements.
