A Novel Online Mutual Coupling Compensation Algorithm for Uniform and Linear Arrays

In this paper, a novel online mutual coupling compensation algorithm especially tailored to uniform and linear arrays is presented. It is conceived to simultaneously compensate for mutual coupling and estimate the direction-of-arrivals (DOAs) of signals impinging on the array since the estimated calibration matrix can be embedded within any classical super-resolution direction-finding method. An alternating minimization procedure based on closed-form solutions is performed to estimate the mutual coupling matrix in the field of complex symmetric Toeplitz matrices. Unlike many existing array calibration methods, it requires neither the presence of calibration sources nor previous calibration information as initialization. Computer simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed technique and prove that the nice statistical properties of classical super-resolution DOA estimation algorithms can be restored despite the presence of mutual coupling     

DOA Estimation for Mixed Signals in the Presence of Mutual Coupling

In this paper, a new direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method is proposed in the presence of unknown mutual coupling. The impinging signals are a mixture of signals in different correlation degrees, which are uncorrelated, partially correlated or coherent with each other. The method proceeds in three steps. The noncoherent (uncorrelated or partially correlated) signals are firstly estimated with unknown mutual coupling. Then these estimates are utilized to get the mutual coupling coefficients. Finally, by eliminating the contributions of the noncoherent signals and compensating the mutual coupling effect, only coherent signals remain to be estimated. This method is simple but effective and does not need iterative processing. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed method.

MSE-based regularization approach to direction estimation ofcoherent narrowband signals using linear prediction

This paper addresses the problem of directions of arrival (DOAs) estimation of coherent narrowband signals impinging on a uniform linear array (ULA) when the number of signals is unknown. By using an overdetermined linear prediction (LP) model with a subarray scheme, the DOAs of coherent signals can be estimated from the zeros of the corresponding prediction polynomial. Although the corrected least squares (CLS) technique can be used to improve the accuracy of the LP parameters estimated from the noisy array data, the inversion of the resulting matrix in the CLS estimation is ill-conditioned, and then, the CLS estimation becomes unstable. To combat this numerical instability, we introduce multiple regularization parameters into the CLS estimation and show that determining the number of coherent signals is closely related to the truncation of the eigenvalues. An analytical expression of the mean square error (MSE) of the estimated LP parameters is derived, and it is clarified that the number of signals can be determined by comparing the optimal regularization parameters with the corresponding eigenvalues. An iterative regularization algorithm is developed for estimating directions without any a priori knowledge, where the number of coherent signals and the noise variance are estimated from the noise-corrupted received data simultaneously     

A Low-Complexity Algorithm for Coherent DOA Estimation in Monostatic MIMO Radar

This paper investigates the topic of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation for coherent sources in monostatic multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar, and proposes a low-complexity algorithm for coherent DOA estimation. The direction vector of MIMO radar can be firstly mapped into a vector of virtual uniform linear array (ULA), and after that, a linear operator is constructed by partial cross-correlations from the received data of the virtual ULA. Finally, the DOAs can be obtained via roots finding method based on this linear operator. The DOAs can be estimated without any eigen-decomposition, nor evaluating all correlations of the received data. The proposed algorithm has much lower complexity as well as much better angle estimation performance than conventional forward backward spatial smoothing (FBSS)-propagator method (FBSS-PM), FBSS- estimation method of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (FBSS-ESPRIT), FBSS- root multiple signal classification (FBSS-Root MUSIC), and ESPRIT-like algorithm. Simulations present the effectiveness and improvement of our approach.     

Two-dimensional direction of arrival estimation in the presence of uncorrelated and coherent signals

In this paper, a novel two-dimensional direction of arrival (2-D DOA) estimation method is proposed based on a new array configuration when uncorrelated and coherent signals coexist. The DOAs of uncorrelated signals are estimated using the non-zero eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of the DOA matrix (DOAM) combined with our proposed criterion. Meanwhile, we can form a new matrix without the information of uncorrelated signals. Then the coherent signals are resolved with the redefined DOAM that is constructed by the smoothed matrices of the new matrix. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method. Other arrays that contain multiple identical central-symmetric subarrays (e.g. uniform rectangular arrays) can also be applied with our method.
