Direction of Arrival Estimates with Vector Sensors: First Results of an Atmospheric Infrasound Array in the Netherlands
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute has continuously operated an outdoor atmospheric infrasound array containing 37 pairs of particle velocity sensors (Microflown) and 6 pressure sensors in the north of the Netherlands in the fall of 2008. As initial results, we detected transients caused by distant aircrafts and calculated their Direction of Arrival (DOA). A nearby sound-source, probably an agricultural vehicle passing on the nearby road or field, could be tracked. Furthermore, we compare DOA estimates using the amplitudes of the vector components of the particle velocity measured at single stations with those of classical beamforming and discuss the prospects for underwater applications.

Biologically Inspired Four Elements Compact Antenna Arrays With Enhanced Sensitivity for Direction of Arrival Estimation
A new four elements compact antenna array is presented and discussed to achieve enhanced phase resolution without sacrificing the array output power. This structure inspired by the Ormia Ochracea’s coupled ears. The analogy between this insect acute directional hearing capabilities and the electrically compact antenna array is used to enhance the array sensitivity to direction of arrival estima...

One of the important issues in many of array systems such as Radar, Sonar, Mobile, and satellite telecommunications is the estimation of DOA of narrowband received signal. CRB is very important in evaluation of parameter estimation. CRB is the lower bound estimation error variance for any unbiased estimation. In this paper, the array antenna with equal distance arrays is extended in two separat...
متن کاملInfrasound Monitoring in the Netherlands
The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) monitors infrasound in the Netherlands with a series of microbarometer arrays. Infrasound is inaudible sound; its lower frequency cut-off is limited by the thickness of the atmosphere. The KNMI has developed a microbarometer capable of measuring infrasound between 500 seconds and 40 Hz. Wind noise reduction is of major concern in infrasound ...

This paper proceeds directions of arrival (DOA) estimation by a linear array. These years, some algorithms, e.g. Khatri-Rao approach, Nested array, Dynamic array have been proposed for estimating more DOAs than sensors. These algorithms can merely estimate uncorrelated sources. For Khatri-Rao approach, this is due to the fact that Khatri-Rao product discard the non-diagonal entries of the corre...
متن کاملFrequency and 2D Angle Estimation Based on a Sparse Uniform Array of Electromagnetic Vector Sensors
We present an ESPRIT-based algorithm that yields extended-aperture two-dimensional (2D) arrival angle and carrier frequency estimates with a sparse uniform array of electromagnetic vector sensors. The ESPRIT-based frequency estimates are first achieved by using the temporal invariance structure out of the two time-delayed sets of data collected from vector sensor array. Each incident source’s c...
