Abstract
A method for estimating the directional spectrum as well as the reflection coefficient in a incident and reflected wave field is developed for practical uses. In the method, the directional spectrum is assumed to be expressed by a circular normal distribution which includes several parameters, Then the parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method. The validity of the method is verified by numerical simulation.
