Optimal Array Geometries for Wideband DOA Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the role of array geometry on the Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimating performance of the array where the impinging signal is wideband. We concentrate on arrays that have isotropic performance. An isotropic array is one whose Cramér Rao bound (CRB) on the DOA of a single source is uniform for all angles. We derive the necessary and sufficient conditions on the location of array elements so that the array is isotropic. Both planar arrays and three dimensional arrays are considered. We also present several designs of isotropic planar and volume arrays and give example geometries.

Windowing Effects of Short Time Fourier Transform on Wideband Array Signal Processing Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation
During the last two decades, Maximum Likelihood estimation (ML) has been used to determine Direction Of Arrival (DOA) and signals propagated by the sources, using narrowband array signals. The algorithm fails in the case of wideband signals. As an attempt by the present study to overcome the problem, the array outputs are transformed into narrowband frequency bins, using short time Fourier tran...

متن کاملOn the geometry of isotropic arrays
We consider array geometries whose direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation performance is isotropic. An isotropic array is one whose Cramér–Rao bound (CRB) on the DOA of a single source is uniform for all angles. For both planar arrays and volume arrays we derive necessary and sufficient conditions on array element locations so that the array is isotropic. We also present several designs of isotr...
متن کاملA Low Energy Consumption DOA Estimation Approach for Conformal Array in Ultra-Wideband
Most direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation approaches for conformal array suffer from high computational complexity, which cause high energy loss for the direction finding system. Thus, a low energy consumption DOA estimation algorithm for conformal array antenna is proposed in this paper. The arbitrary baseline direction finding algorithm is extended to estimate DOA for a conformal array in ul...
متن کاملUnderdetermined Wideband DOA Estimation for Off-Grid Sources with Coprime Array Using Sparse Bayesian Learning
Sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) is applied to the coprime array for underdetermined wideband direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. Using the augmented covariance matrix, the coprime array can achieve a higher number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) to resolve more sources than the number of physical sensors. The sparse-based DOA estimation can deteriorate the detection and estimation performance be...
