[hal-00258484, v1] EM-ESPRIT ALGORITHM FOR DIRECTION FINDING WITH NONUNIFORM ARRAYS
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the problem of the Direction Of Arrival (DOA) estimation with nonuniform linear arrays. The proposed method is a combination of the Expectation Maximization (EM) and the ESPRIT methods. The EM algorithm interpolates the nonuniform array to an equivalent uniform array, and then, the application of ESPRIT is possible, in order to estimate the DOA. One of this method novelties lies in its capacity of dealing with any nonuniform array geometry. This technique manifests significant performance and computational advantages over previous algorithms such as MUSIC, specially in the preasymptotic domain, and the comparison with the theoretical Cramer-Rao Bounds (CRB) shows its efficiency.

On the Multi-resolution Esprit Algorithm
Multi-resolution ESPRIT is an extension of the ESPRIT direction finding algorithm to antenna arrays with multiple baselines. A short (half wavelength) baseline is necessary to avoid aliasing, a long baseline is preferred for accuracy. The MR-ESPRIT algorithm allows to combine both estimates. The ratio of the longest baseline to the shortest one is a measure of the gain in resolution. In this wo...

متن کاملAlgorithms for Azimuth/elevation Direction Finding Using Regular Array Geometries
We consider in this paper the problem of extending the ESPRIT algorithm for multiple source, co-channel direction nding to the two-dimensional case (e.g., azimuth and elevation angle estimation). Two algorithms are presented, one based on the optimal (minimum variance) subspace tting formulation of ESPRIT, and the other based on an approximation to it. The algorithms are applicable to antenna a...
متن کاملDirection Finding With Partly Calibrated Uniform Linear Arrays
A new method for direction finding with partly calibrated uniform linear arrays (ULAs) is presented. It is based on the conventional estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) by modeling the imperfections of the ULAs as gain and phase uncertainties. For a fully calibrated array, it reduces to the conventional ESPRIT algorithm. Moreover, the direction-of-arriv...
متن کاملExploiting arrays with multiple invariances using MUSIC and MODE
This paper describes several new techniques for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation using arrays composed of multiple translated and uncalibrated subarrays. The new algorithms can be thought of as generalizations of the MUSIC, Root-MUSIC, and MODE techniques originally developed for fully calibrated arrays. The advantage of these new approaches is that the DOAs can be estimated using either a...
