Abstract
We develop two novel algorithms for estimating the direction of arrival (DoA) of multiple sources in fully-connected and partially-connected hybrid analog/digital (HAD) receivers. The first algorithm is based on the observation that the analog combiner projects received signals on a particular subspace, causing the signals corresponding to particular DoAs to be heavily attenuated. Thus, an analog combiner defines spatial sectors, beyond which the DoAs are practically undetectable. To address this difficulty, we perform DoA estimation over an exhaustive set of analog combiners spanning distinct subspaces. To refine the estimates generated by this algorithm, we develop an exponentially-converging algorithm wherein the search window is successively narrowed until convergence. Cramér-Rao lower bounds on the root-mean-square error of the proposed algorithms are derived and the superiority of these algorithms over their existing counterparts is established through numerical simulations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
