The problem of joint Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) and calibration parameters in a wideband scenario is addressed. The system consists of multiple sources transmitting from different directions and in certain subcarriers. Sources in the same beam are regarded as transmitted
from the same AoA and their signals are allocated to different subcarriers while users in different beams may transmit on the same subcarrier, i.e. the signals are multiplexed in space and frequency. Then, signals from a given beam not necessarily occupy the full bandwidth but only specific subcarriers. In addition, due to the wideband of the signal, each RF chain introduces frequency dependent gain and phase shift that need to be calibrated to perform a subsequent demultiplexing in a digital beamforming matrix. We propose a novel blind algorithm that (i) estimates the AoAs of all present sources in the
bandwidth of interest and (ii) estimates the different gains/phases at each antenna per frequency up to an unknown impairment at a reference antenna. We provide identifiability conditions that ensure a successful parameter estimation. Finally, the potential of the proposed algorithm compared to the case of known calibration parameters is assessed by simulations.
