چکیده

This paper presents a novel direction-finding (DF) system based on a 3-axis crossed antenna array in combination with threedimensional Unitary ESPRIT. The application and design considerations are discussed and the implemented antenna array is shown. The 3-D Unitary ESPRIT algorithm is modified to solve a rank-deficiency problem in order to obtain better estimation results. The improved resolution capabilities are addressed and simulation results are presented that show the excellent DF capabilities of the new system.

Maximum Likelihood Parameter Estimation in a GNSS Receiver

The potential of the SAGE (Space Alternating Generalized Expectation Maximization) algorithm for navigation systems in order to distinguish the line-of-sight signal (LOSS) is to be considered. The SAGE algorithm is a low-complexity generalization of the EM (Expectation-Maximization) algorithm, which iteratively approximates the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and has been successfully applie...

High-Resolution Angle-of-Arrival Measurement of the Mobile Radio Channel

The accurate planning of microcellular mobile radio networks requires a thorough understanding of the mechanisms that govern radio wave propagation in urban environments. Combined measurements of time delays and angles-of-arrival (AoA’s), both in azimuth and elevation, of individual multipath contributions are expected to be very helpful in the validation and improvement of existing ray-tracing...

Azimuth and Elevation Computation Resolution Doa Estimation in High

In this correspondence, we discuss a number of high-resolution direction finding methods for determining the two-dimensional directions of arrival of a number of plane waves, impinging on a sensor array. The array consists of triplets of sensors that are identical, as an extension of the ID ESPRIT scenario to two dimensions. New algorithms are devised that yield the correct parameter pairs whil...

Two-dimensional Spatial Smoothing for Multipath Coherent Signal Identification and Separation

The existing spatial smoothing (SS) technique, although it is eeective in decorrelating coherent signals, is considered applicable only to uniformly spaced linear arrays which are very sensitive to the directions-of-arrival (DOA's) and can be used to estimate azimuth angles only. To signiicantly improve the robustness of DOA estimation and of beamforming and to estimate both azimuth and elevati...
