Two-dimensional angle estimation for monostatic MIMO arbitrary array with velocity receive sensors and unknown locations

In this paper, the problem of two-dimensional angle estimation for monostatic multi-input multi-output (MIMO) array is studied, and an algorithm based on the usage of velocity receive sensors is proposed. The algorithm applies the estimation method of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT) algorithm to obtain automatically paired two-dimensional angle estimation. By utilizing the relationship within the outputs of velocity sensors, the rotational invariance property of ESPRIT does not depend on the array geometry any more. Hence, the proposed algorithm can provide two-dimensional DOA estimation for the MIMO array without the knowledge of sensor locations in the array. The algorithm requires no peak searches, so it has low complexity. Furthermore, it has better angle estimation performance than propagator method using the same sensor configuration. Error analysis and Cramér–Rao bound (CRB) of angle estimation in MIMO radar are derived. Simulation results verify the usefulness of the algorithm.

Joint direction of arrival estimation and array calibration for coprime MIMO radar

Compared to large-scale MIMO radar, coprime MIMO radar can achieve approximate estimation performance with reduced antenna number. In this paper, joint direction of arrival (DOA) estimation and array calibration for coprime multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is considered, and an iterative method for the estimations of DOA and array gain-phase errors is proposed. Based on the received data structure of coprime MIMO radar, trilinear decomposition is firstly adopted to obtain the estimations of transmit and receive direction matrices, which are perturbated by the gain-phase errors. Through equation transformation, the un-perturbated direction matrices and gain-phase errors can be iteratively updated based on Least squares (LS). Finally, the unique DOA estimation is determined from the intersection of transmit and receive direction matrices. The proposed algorithm achieves better DOA estimation and array calibration performance than other methods including estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT)-like algorithm, multiple signal classification (MUSIC)-like algorithm and joint angle and array gain-phase error estimation (JAAGE) method, and it performs close to the method with ideal arrays. Multiple simulation results verify the algorithmic effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Joint estimation of source number and DOA using simulated annealing algorithm

The array signal processing problem has to do with two main issues: 1) the determination of source number; and 2) estimation of the directions-of-arrival (DOA) of these sources. In the classical methods, the determination of source number and the estimation of DOA parameters are executed independently rather than jointly. To jointly estimate source number and DOA, this paper proposes a simulated annealing-based algorithm. The key points of this paper are: i) the prior choices for some unknown parameters are calibrated to compute more efficiently; ii) a penalty term for the parameter number is added to the corresponding objective function Additionally to avoid overfitting; and iii) in order to move to the regions of interest quickly, some cumulants of properly chosen sensor outputs from the uniform linear array (ULA) is computed and their moduluses of Fourier transform (MFT) are mapped trickly to the uniform distribution. Finally simulation results are presented to validate the performance of the proposed method.
