Accurate information acquisition is of vital importance for wireless sensor array network (WSAN) direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. However, due to the lossy nature of low-power wireless links, data loss, especially block data loss induced by adopting a large packet size, has a catastrophic effect on DOA estimation performance in WSAN. In this paper, we propose a double-layer compressive se...

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...

BACKGROUND This study assessed the characteristics of dead on arrival (DOA) patients in Pakistan. METHODS Data about the DOA patients were extracted from Pakistan National Emergency Department Surveillance study (Pak-NEDS). This study recruited all ED patients presenting to seven tertiary care hospitals during a four-month period between November 2010 and March 2011. This study included patie...

In this paper, a high-resolution direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm is proposed for highly correlated signals. This algorithm is divided into two stages. In Stage 1, a high-resolution method of DOA estimation using an oblique projection operator was applied to estimate the DOA of highly correlated signals. In Stage 2, because estimations obtained in highly correlated signal environ...

In mobile radio reception, signals typically arrive at the receiver antenna from a wide range of directions due to multipath propagation. This can be described by a direction-of-arrival (DoA) distribution of the propagation environment. If the DoA distribution is known, the Doppler spectrum and the autocorrelation function can be directly computed [1]. Furthermore, handset antenna performance c...

In April I965, anti-Doa, an antibody defining a 'new' red cell antigen, was reported (Swanson, Polesky, Tippett, and Sanger, I965). The present paper records the results of tests with anti-Doa on samples received in this unit from October I964 until April I966. Anti-Doa reacts best by the antiglobulin test on papainized cells, but only a minority of otherwise good antiglobulin sera are suitable...

A blind space–time joint channel and direction of arrival (DoA) estimation method is proposed for DS-CDMA systems. The new method employs a linear antenna array and requires only the signature sequence and timing of the desired user to blindly estimate the channel and the DoA parameters. Two blind algorithms that exploit antenna arrays are also proposed for enhancing the channel estimates. Simu...
