In receiving radio waves from a transmitter by an array antenna, and estimating an arrival direction of a direct wave, delay times of the arriving waves are estimated (13) by means of a super-resolution process based on transmission channel estimation results, an arriving wave component corresponding to the delay time having been determined to be equal to or longer than a threshold value is removed (15) from the transmission channel estimation results, arriving wave components after the removal are separated from each other to extract direct wave components (17), and an arrival angle is estimated (19). The arrival direction of the direct wave can be accurately estimated in an environment where delayed waves of short delay times are present. Also, the amount of calculation is small even when the super-resolution process is performed.

A method and apparatus for detecting and locating a fault in a cable network. A cable modem may perform channel estimation to obtain a time domain channel response on an echo channel in a cable network. The cable modem then analyzes the time domain channel response to determine whether there is any change from a previously obtained time domain channel response on the echo channel. If there is a change from the previously obtained time domain channel response, the cable modem may generate an alert for a fault in the cable network and estimate a location of the fault based on the time domain channel response. Calibration may be performed to determine a reference latency for a reflection occurred inside the cable modem, and the location of the fault may be estimated based on the reference latency.
