Vector-sensor array processing for estimating angles and times of arrival of multipath communication signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop vector-sensor array processing to estimate the angles-of-arrival (AOAs) and time delays of multipath channels in the space-time-polarization domain. A MUSIC-type algorithm for joint angle and delay estimation with a vector-sensor array is derived. Potential applications include multipath channel estimation and mobile localization. Simulation results show that the space-time-polarization parameterization of the multipath channels results in improved accuracy and resolution performance.

E ects of Multipath-Induced Angular Spread on Direction of Arrival Estimators in Array Signal Processing
We consider the e ects of multipath on three array signal processing algorithms for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. We adopt a model in which the source signals impinge on an array of sensors over a spread of angles. Such a scenario arises in mobile telecommunications, where the angular spread is caused by multipath from a large number of scatterers local to each source. We analyze the e...
متن کاملMultipath Separation-Direction of Arrival (MS-DOA) with Genetic Search Algorithm for HF channels
Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) defines the estimation of arrival angles of an electromagnetic wave impinging on a set of sensors. For dispersive and time-varying HF channels, where the propagating wave also suffers from the multipath phenomena, estimation of DOA is a very challenging problem. Multipath Separation-Direction of Arrival (MS-DOA), that is developed to estimate both the arrival angles i...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional DOA estimation of coherent signals using acoustic vector sensor array
In this paper, we present two new methods for estimating two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) of narrowband coherent (or highly correlated) signals using an L-shaped array of acoustic vector sensors. We decorrelate the coherency of the signals and reconstruct the signal subspace using cross-correlation matrix, and then the ESPRIT and propagator methods are applied to estimate the az...

Abstract: This paper outlines a method to apply robust adaptive beamforming algorithms to a multi-channel linear array antenna to produce accurate direction of arrival (DOA) estimates of multiple RF emitters in a multipath interference environment. Advanced adaptive Wiener filtering is used to produce robust super-resolution DOA estimates of both direct and multipath signals from which spatial ...
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...
