Abstract :
This paper presents an algorithm for exhaustive extrema computation of one-dimensional cost functions. Its applicability to array signal processing is demonstrated. We use it for antenna array design, and to solve a multiple source direction finding problem using MUSIC, beamformer and minimum variance methods
