User's Manual for ESTK1D.FOR and ESTK2D.FOR Wavenumber Estimation Routines

Abstract

This document describes the operation and structure of the Fortran programs ESTK1D.FOR and ESTK2D.FOR. These frequency domain wavenumber estimation programs implement either the Bartlett or the high-resolution Capon (1969) maximum-likelihood beamformers. The program ESTK1D.FOR forms a beam response based on a one-dimensional observation wavenumber that is rotated through wavenumber space to determine the spatial bearing of a plane wave source. ESTK2D.FOR uses the beam response in two-dimensional wavenumber space to estimate the two-dimensional wavenumber vector of a plane wave source. The discussion presented in this paper focuses on the operational details of installing and running ESTK1D and ESTK2D.
