power of beamformed signals

Hello,
I have a random signal 'x' of matrix dimensions 100x5000 i.e. I have 100 signals of 5000 samples each with fs=1000.
I want to find the power of these 100 signals and plot them versus angle(1:100) to view meshplot of the beam pattern.
How can I go about doing this? Please help.

What kind of signal you have? If you have a signal of WSS, you can probably use var directly.

signal=sin(2*pi*200*t)+randn(size(t)); % freq 200 Hz,
fs=1000;
Then you can to do var(signal-sin(2*pi*200*t). You need to be careful when you interpret the result because this way you measure the power of noise. Hence, at your desired location, you actually have least noise power.
got it..thank you
