Direction finding with time-varying arrays

This paper considers the problem of finding the directions of narrowband signals using a time-varying array, whose elements move during the observation interval in an arbitrary but known way. Assuming a Gaussian signal model, we derive the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) and the maximum likelihood estimator for the directions of arrival. The single source case is studied in detail. Time-varying arrays are shown to be more robust to ambiguity errors than static arrays of comparable dimensions     

Joint Angle and Array Gain-Phase Errors Estimation Using PM-like Algorithm for Bistatic MIMO Radar

This paper discusses the problem of the direction of departure (DOD) and the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar with array gain-phase errors. In this paper, we propose a propagator method (PM)-like algorithm for joint angle and array gain-phase errors estimation in MIMO radar. The proposed method not only yields automatically paired estimates of the angles and gain-phase errors but also has much better gain-phase errors estimation performance than the estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT)-like algorithm; this has higher computational cost than the proposed algorithm. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm has angle estimation performance very close to ESPRIT-like algorithm. We also derive the Cramér–Rao bound (CRB) for MIMO radar with array gain-phase errors. Simulation results present the usefulness of our approach.

Subspace Smoothing for Direction of Arrival Estimation in DS-CDMA Systems

In this paper a subspace processing method is introduced that can be used for direction of arrival estimation of coherent signals in an asynchronous DS-CDMA system. Conventional methods of direction of arrival estimation are not directly applicable to the case of multiple coherent signals that impinge on an antenna array from different directions. Some preprocessing is essential prior to estimation in this case. The proposed method exploits the spreading code and the path delays of the desired user to eliminate the contribution of undesired paths in the signal subspace. To this end, the signal subspace is mapped to a new subspace which contains the spatial-temporal signature of the desired signal. Once the desired subspace is created, conventional methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT can be employed to estimate the desired directions of arrival. It is proved that the obtained direction of arrival estimator, based on the proposed method, is consistent. Also, the estimation performance is evaluated by comparing the proposed method with conventional estimation methods.     

Angle and polarization estimation using ESPRIT with a polarizationsensitive array

It is shown how estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) may be used to estimate both the arrival directions and the polarizations of incoming plane waves with a uniform linear array of crossed dipoles. The ESPRIT algorithm exploits the invariance properties of such an array so that both angle and polarization estimates may be computed. Some typical examples showing the use of this method are presented     

Performance analysis of higher order ESPRIT for localization ofnear-field sources

Most existing array processing techniques for estimating the directions of arrival (DOAs) or signal copy rely heavily on the plane-wave assumption of far-field sources. When the sources are located relatively close to the array, these techniques may no longer perform satisfactorily. In this paper we present an asymptotic performance analysis of an ESPRIT-like method for passive localization of nearfield sources. The algorithm, which is based on fourth-order cumulants, is formulated for observations collected from a single uniformly spaced linear array. We examine the least-squares version of the algorithm and derive the expressions for the asymptotic variance of the estimated DOAs (relative to a reference sensor) and estimated ranges of the sources. We also derive an algorithm independent bound on the asymptotic variance of the estimated parameters. This bound can be used as a measure against the theoretically predicted algorithmic performance. Some insight into the achievable performance of this algorithm is obtained by numerical evaluation of the bound for several test cases of interest, and the results are compared with those obtained by numerical evaluation of the theoretically predicted performance. Monte Carlo simulations are used to verify the theoretical analysis     

The effects of array calibration errors on DF-based signal copyperformance

This paper studies the effect of array calibration errors on the performance of various direction finding (DF) based signal copy algorithms. Unlike blind copy methods, this class of algorithms requires an estimate of the directions of arrival (DOAs) of the signals in order to compute the copy weight vectors. Under the assumption that the observation time is sufficiently long, the following algorithms are studied: classical beamforming, least squares, total least squares, linearly constrained minimum variance beamforming, and structured stochastic estimation. Expressions for the mean-square error of the signal estimates are derived as a function of the calibration errors for both the case where the DOAs are known precisely and for the case where the DOAs must be estimated     

基于电磁矢量传感器的MIMO天线阵列系统研究

将电磁矢量传感器(EVS,electromagnetic vetor sensor)信号处理法与传统MIMO信号处理有机地结合,建立了基于EVS的多天线三维信道模型。采用多重信号分类(MUSIC,multiple signal classification)算法对MIMO的达波信号方向(DOA,direction of arrival)进行空间谱估计,导出基于EVS的三维空间信道解析式,阐明了EVS信号处理与MIMO多径信道相关性的关系。与传统标量传感器阵列(SSA,scalar sensor array)MIMO天线阵列比较,EVS阵列能获取达波信号的多维极化信息,同时具有空间域和极化信号处理能力。因此可缓解空间多径信道相关性,使空间极化分量的相关性趋于零值,而且使MIMO系统性能受空间结构的影响较小。理论分析和仿真结果表明在提高MIMO天线系统性能上,基于EVS阵列的系统比SSA系统具有更高的优越性。     

Complex-valued ICA utilizing signal-subspace demixing for robust DOA estimation and blind signal separation

This paper deals with direction of arrival (DOA) estimation and blind signal separation (BSS) based on independent component analysis (ICA) with robust capabilities. An efficient demixing procedure of complex-valued ICA is presented here, which combines the signal-subspace demixing procedure exploiting individual signal-subspace projection and Newton’s iteration algorithm based on maximization of the approximate negentropy of non-Gaussian signal for array signal processing. It resolves the problems of order ambiguity and identifiability of traditional ICA for time-domain BSS. The proposed method could be directly applied to radar, sonar, radio surveillance, and communications systems for separating signals and estimating relative DOAs of signals. Several computer simulation examples for perturbations to the array manifold, unknown noise environments, and Rayleigh fading channel are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
