High Resolution Techniques for Direction of Arrival Estimation of GPR Signals
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, the Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation is implemented using a steppedfrequency ground penetrating radar data for antipersonal landmines detection. Different experiments for different anti-personal landmines for different depths have been achieved. The techniques used in this paper are high-resolution techniques such as Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC), and EigenVector (EV) methods. These techniques are compared with the classical method, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The practical results show the better performance of high resolution techniques when compared with the classical method. Keywords— GPR; Landmines; IFFT; DOA; MUSIC; EV

متن کاملWindowing 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 کاملDOA Estimation Algorithm for Smart Antennas-An Investigation
High resolution direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is important in many applications and over the years many techniques have been proposed. The signal subspace method (MUSIC) [1] has been the most popular and is known to yield asymptotically unbiased and efficient estimates. The MUSIC algorithm estimates the signal subspace from the array measurements and then estimates the parameters of int...
