How Does the MUSIC Algorithm Derive the Auto-Correlation Matrix?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the mathematical derivations of the MUSIC algorithm as presented in Schmidt's original paper. The author clarifies the initial formulation of the auto-correlation matrix S but struggles with the transition to S=APA*+\lambda S_{0}. Key questions arise regarding the factorization of Lambda and S0, specifically how to derive S0 from a noise model. The author notes that other papers simplify the process by calculating eigenvalues of S in the Euclidean metric, which aligns with their MATLAB simulations suggesting S0=I for Gaussian white noise. The inquiry emphasizes the need for clarity on these mathematical steps to effectively implement the MUSIC algorithm.

I'm studying the MUSIC algorithm in order to implement it in some project of mine, but I have some difficulties understanding the mathematical derivations done in the original Schmidt paper.
For those of you who have access to this paper, I'll appreciate your time and help.

The author begins with a vector x=Af+w, which's derivation is pretty clear to me. Then he proceeds to define the auto-correlation matrix S=xx*

The first result is understandable:
S=Aff*A*+ww*

But then he defines S as:
S=APA*+\lambda S_{0}

Now, there are some points later that I don't understand, but this seems to be the core problem:

How does he arrive at the factorization of Lambda and S0?

In the summary of the algorithm, the second step is to calculate the eigenvalues (the Lambda's) of S in the metric of S0. So more specifically: how do I calculate S0 from my model of noise?

In other papers that summarize MUSIC the algorithm was to simply calculate eigenvalues of S (in the euclidean metric). I've ran some MATLAB simulations and it worked fine, but I guess that a Gaussian white noise model really coincides with S0=I.

What's the name of the Schmidt paper?
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
