Optimum Array Processing and Representation of Nonstationary Random Scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
'ins purpose of this paper is to extend scattering function concepts to nonstationary and correlated scattering and use appropriate extensions to study optimum array processors in inhomogeneous Gaussian random noise fields. For this end we will review common functional representations of nonstationary stochastic processes and indicate how these functional representations can be used for analysis of nonstationary scattering. Then we will give expressions for optimum (maximum likelihood for Gaussian distributions) scalar and array processors in terms of Wigner distributions. Finally, we will use Moyal's formula to derive expressions for the detection indices in terms of Wigner distributions.

Array processing for nonstationary interference suppression in DS/SS communications using subspace projection techniques
| Combined spatial and time-frequency signatures of signal arrivals at a multi-sensor array are used for nonstationary interference suppression in direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DS/SS) communications. With random PN spreading code and deterministic nonstationary interferers, the use of antenna arrays o ers increased DS/SS signal dimensionality relative to the interferers. Interference mitigat...
متن کاملOptimal Quadratic Array Processing Using Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Representations
The use of sensor arrays in signal processing applications has received considerable attention, especially in radar/sonar processing. Sensor arrays are able to enhance desired signal reception while simultaneously suppressing undesired components through the use of directionality. The performance of traditional matched-eld beamformers is severely limited for many random signal models of interes...
متن کاملDOA Estimation of Nonstationary Signals
In this Chapter, we discuss the direction finding problem of sources emitting or inducing nonstationary signals. The focus is on signals which are uniquely characterized by their instantaneous frequencies. Recognizing the quadratic time-frequency distributions as an effective tool to localize signal power in the time-frequency domain, we present nonstationary array processing in the context of ...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Spatial Risk for a Mean Nonstationary Random Field}
The common methods for spatial risk estimation are investigated for a stationary random field. Because of simplifying, lets distribution is known, and parametric variogram for the random field are considered. In this paper, we study a nonparametric spatial method for spatial risk. In this method, we model the random field trend by a local linear estimator, and through bias-corrected residuals, ...

In this article, we consider the joint estimation of direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-ofarrival (DOA) information of maneuvering targets in a bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system that exploits spatial time-frequency distribution (STFD). STFD has been found useful in solving various array processing problems, such as direction finding and blind source separation,...
