How to remove Index exceeds matrix dimensions error ?

I am implimenting an algorithm for direction of arrival of signal estimation.For that i first store the angle information in a mat file n then loading it into the code.In this code s=a1,where a1 is the first signal and this variable contains the angle information i.e 30 degrees.but when i run my full code its giving me Index exceeds matrix dimensions error.Sir Please help me.

degree = 180; divisor_factor=32;

c = 346.287; K = 100; % Number of frequency snapshots Fs = 50000;% Sampling frequency T=1/Fs; f = 3000;% Signal frequency M = 8; dist = .03; xx = dist*[0:M-1];

theta_test = [1:1:degree-1]*pi/180; % Test vector of theta values (from 0 to 180 deg) length_t = length(theta_test); % Number of trial angles

load angledata s=a1; % a1-a5 correspond to data of 5 different incident angles % s is a 102400 by 8 matrix. The length of each of the 8 sequences may be longer than 102400 lfft=1024*1; % number of data points for FFT in a snapshot df = Fs/lfft/1; % frequency grid size F = 0:df:Fs/1-df; for ih=1:M for iv=1:K pos=(iv-1)*lfft+1; tmp=s(pos:pos+lfft-1,ih); %IN THIS ERROR IS SHOWGING X(:,ih,iv)=fft(tmp); end end

Hi. Maybe your s isn't 102400 by 8 matrix. With s=rand(102400,8) didn't give any error:

degree = 180; divisor_factor=32;
c = 346.287; K = 100; % Number of frequency snapshots 
Fs = 50000;% Sampling frequency 
T=1/Fs; f = 3000;% Signal frequency 
M = 8; dist = .03; xx = dist*[0:M-1];
theta_test = [1:1:degree-1]*pi/180; % Test vector of theta values (from 0 to 180 deg) 
length_t = length(theta_test); % Number of trial angles
%%%%%%%load angledata 
s=rand(102400,8); % a1-a5 correspond to data of 5 different incident angles 
% s is a 102400 by 8 matrix. The length of each of the 8 sequences may be longer than 102400 
lfft=1024*1; % number of data points for FFT in a snapshot 
df = Fs/lfft/1; % frequency grid size 
F = 0:df:Fs/1-df; 
for ih=1:M 
    for iv=1:K 
        pos=(iv-1)*lfft+1; 
        tmp=s(pos:pos+lfft-1,ih); %IN THIS ERROR IS SHOWGING 
        X(:,ih,iv)=fft(tmp); 
    end
end

sir.it worked...bt for the same code i m having one more problem.when i running the code to find covariance matrix it is givein me error i.e Attempted to access theta_test(180); index out of bounds because numel(theta_test)=179.(eeror in finding phit)

% sample covariance matrix R=X0*X0';

omega = 2*pi*f0; % Angular frequency of the signal k=omega/c; % wave number phi=-k*dist*cos(theta_test); % Electrical angle for i=1:M a(i,:)=exp(j*(i-1)*phi); % Steering vector end

delta=1e-4; % epsilon--criterion to terminate the algorithm dphi=100;

for i=1:degree phit=-k*dist*cos(theta_test(i)); % electrical angle for ii=1:M v(ii,:)=exp(j*(ii-1)*phit); % array manifold matrix end P=v*inv(v'*v)*v'; % projection matrix wrt V phi10_tmp(i)=trace(P*R); end

You can use 'for i=1:degree-1':

for i=1:degree-1 
    phit=-k*dist*cos(theta_test(i)); % electrical angle 
    for ii=1:M 
        v(ii,:)=exp(j*(ii-1)*phit); % array manifold matrix 
    end
    P=v*inv(v'*v)*v'; % projection matrix wrt V
    phi10_tmp(i)=trace(P*R); 
end
