DOA estimation by least squares approach

A least squares estimation technique for finding the directions of arrival (DOAs) of signals corrupted by additive white noise using a uniform linear array is developed. Although the estimates are not as accurate as those of subspace methods, the computations involved are simpler, and prior knowledge of the number of sources is not required     

A novel approach for DOA estimation in unknown correlated noise fields

The key of the subspace-based Direction Of Arrival （DOA） estimation lies in the estimation of signal subspace with high quality. In the case of uncorrelated signals while the signals are temporally correlated, a novel approach for the estimation of DOA in unknown correlated noise fields is proposed in this paper. The approach is based on the biorthogonality between a matrix and its Moore-Penrose pseudo inverse, and made no assumption on the spatial covariance matrix of the noise. The approach exploits the structural information of a set of spatio-temporal correlation matrices, and it can give a robust and precise estimation of signal subspace, so a precise estimation of DOA is obtained. Its performances are confirmed by computer simulation results.     

Subspace-based approach for DOA estimation using pilot symbol channel identification

In the paper, antenna processing is applied in the radio localisation frame. For a source of interest, the multipath directions of arrival (DOA) are estimated and the shortest/direct propagation path is identified. First, an unstructured estimate of the sampled channel impulse response is derived by use of pilot symbols. The channel response samples are then separately processed to recover the DOA of the relative paths. For stationary channels, it is suggested that smoothing be used in the case of a uniform and linear antenna array (ULA) to recover the source subspace. For fast fading channels, which is typically the case for high speed mobiles, it is shown that using a MUSIC like algorithm allows source subspace recovery by exploiting the gain diversity over a reduced number of slots with unchanged DOA and time delays. Separate processing of channel response samples reduces the constraint on antenna array size and allows comparison of the path lengths.     

DOA estimation in multipath: an approach using fourth-ordercumulants

We consider the problem of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in the presence of multipath propagation. The sensor elements are assumed to be linear and uniformly spaced. To perform DOA estimation, we combine two existing algorithms which are often used for other purposes. The first algorithm exploits fourth-order cumulants to perform blind estimation of the steering vectors and the second algorithm estimates the directions of arrival using the estimated vectors. We refer to this two step approach as the SV-DOA estimation algorithm. We also present an algorithm independent performance analysis for the DOA estimation problem based on fourth-order cumulants. We summarize the algorithms and present Monte-Carlo simulations demonstrating the effectiveness of the SV-DOA algorithm as well as verifying the performance analysis using an optimal (but computationally expensive) DOA estimation algorithm     

An improved cyclic beamforming method for signal DOA estimation

Modulated signals used in telecommunication are cyclostationary. This property can be exploited to improve the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation performance. In this work, we propose an improved cyclic beamforming algorithm exploiting cyclostationarity. The proposed method exploits the information of both cyclic correlation matrix and cyclic conjugate correlation matrix with different cyclic frequencies. Compared with the existing methods, the simulation results show that proposed method improves substantially the signal selectivity; also it allows an increase in resolution power.     

Jointly estimating both range and DOA of near field source

A computationally efficient method for jointly estimating both Directions Of Arrival(DOA) and ranges of near field sources is presented.

Furthermore, its performances are confirmed by computer simulations.     

A self-calibration technique for a DOA array with near-zone scatterers

This paper describes an iterative self-calibration technique for a direction of arrival (DOA) array to automatically remove the effects of mutual coupling and near-zone resonant size scatterers whose locations are known but whose geometries are unknown. Beginning with the array currents contaminated by both mutual coupling and near-zone scatterers, the iterative method determines the uncontaminated method of moments voltage vector, and eventually the DOAs. Numerical examples illustrate the convergence of the method and its ability to deal with multiple scatterers and multiple incident waves.     

An efficient DOA estimation method in multipath environment

An efficient direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method is proposed with uniform linear array (ULA) in multipath environment. By applying a transformation, we can convert a constructed complex matrix to a real one, and then utilize the real matrix combined with our proposed criterion to estimate the DOAs of uncorrelated signals. Afterwards, the contributions of uncorrelated signals are eliminated, and then several new matrices without the information of uncorrelated signals are constructed to resolve the remaining coherent signals. The proposed estimation method overcomes the shortcomings of the existing methods and has satisfactory performance. Simulation results confirm the theoretical analysis and show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

An improved DOA estimation algorithm for asynchronous multipath CDMA system

This paper proposes an improved Direction Of Arrival（DOA） estimation algorithm for asynchronous multipath Code Division Multiple Access（CDMA） system. The algorithm is based on the correlation matrices of outputs of decorrelator, which is a Multi-User Detection（MUD） approach, one of the key techniques for CDMA system. Through decorrelating processing, the desired user＇s mulipath signals can be resolved and all the other resolved multipath signal interference is eliminated. So the proposed algorithm is expected to perforln much better than algorithm such as that based directly on the Matched Filter（MF） bank outputs. Simulation results confirm this. While the improved algorithm performs better and better as Signal-to-Noise Ratio（SNR） increases, the performance of algorithm based directly on the MF bank outputs can not be improved.

The resolution of the proposed method is high comparing with the standard multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm and the 2q-MUSIC algorithm. Simulation results are presented to show the performance of the proposed technique.
