Decoupled Nominal 2-D Direction-of -Arrival Estimation Algorithm for Coherently Distributed Source
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computationally efficient method for nominal 2-D (azimuth and elevation) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of coherently distributed source impinging on the far field is presented. Since the coherently distributed source is characterized by four parameters, the nominal azimuth DOA, angular spread of the nominal azimuth DOA, the nominal elevation DOA, and angular spread of the nominal elevation DOA, the computational complexity of the parameter estimation is normally high demanding. So a low complexity estimation algorithm is proposed in this paper, the key idea of which is to apply a subspace-based method without eigendecomposition in beamspace and a proposed second-order statistics for estimating the nominal elevation and azimuth DOAs. The proposed decoupled estimation algorithm does not involve any searching. It has a lower computational complexity particularly when the radio of array size to the number of source is large, at the expense of negligible performance loss. Simulation results are included to demonstrate the performance of the proposed technique.

Low-complexity estimation of 2D DOA for coherently distributed sources
We consider the estimation of two-dimensional (azimuth and elevation) direction-of-arrival (DOA) using a pair of uniform circular arrays under a coherently distributed source model.

In many two-dimensional Direction of Arrival estimation approaches for Coherently distributed source, the computational complexity induced by high-dimensional peakfinding searching is normally highly demanding. We propose a low-complexity estimation algorithm by using the approximation to the steering to vector for small angular extensions, which estimates the nominal DOA using the phase inform...

A new 2D DOA estimation method for coherently distributed (CD) source is proposed. CD sources model is constructed by using Taylor approximation to the generalized steering vector (GSV), whereas the angular and angular spread are separated from signal pattern. The angular information is in the phase part of the GSV, and the angular spread information is in the module part of the GSV, thus enabl...

In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed for the two-dimensional (2D) central direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of coherently distributed (CD) sources.
