A new ESPRIT-based algorithm is proposed to estimate the direction-of-arrival of an arbitrary degree polynomialphase signal with a single acoustic vector sensor. The proposed approach requires neither a priori knowledge of the polynomial-phase signal’s coefficients nor a priori knowledge of the polynomial-phase signal’s frequency-spectrum. A preprocessing technique is also proposed to incorpora...

[1] A map of north–south subkilometer-scale slope asymmetry on Mars obtained from statistical analysis of along-track MOLA topographic profiles reveals welldefined zonal belts of north–south slope asymmetry at 40–50 latitude in both hemispheres. In these narrow anomalous belts the pole-facing slopes are systematically gentler than equator-facing slopes. This asymmetry is especially pronounced f...

introduction: spatial variation of soil properties is significantly influenced by numerous environmental factors such as landscape features, including position, topography, slope gradient and aspect, parent material, climate and vegetation. soil properties vary spatially in south- and north-facing hill slopes. this factor (different slope aspects) can affect the distribution of soil organic mat...

In many cases where direction finding is of interest, the signals impinging on an antenna array are known to be phase modulated and, hence, to have a constant modulus (CM). This is a strong property; by itself, it is already sufficient for source separation and can be used to construct improved direction finding algorithms. We first derive the relevant Cramér–Rao bounds (CRB’s) for arbitrary ar...

A self calibration algorithm for direction finding in the presence of arbitrary shape 3D scatterers of resonating size is presented. This algorithm removes the effects of mutual coupling and 3D scatterers on direction of arrival estimation. The scatterers and wire type antenna array are excited by incident plane waves of arbitrary direction. The 3D scatterers shape is approximated as a sphere, ...

Monopulse is a classical radar technique [1] of precise direction finding of a source or target. The concept can be used both in radar applications as well as in modern communication techniques. The information contained in antenna sidelobes normally disturbs the determination of DOA in the case of a classical monopulse system. The suitable combination of amplitudeand phase-monopulse algorithm ...

In the light of recent developments in optimal real L1-norm principal-component analysis (PCA), we provide the first algorithm in the literature to carry out L1-PCA of complexvalued data. Then, we use this algorithm to develop a novel subspace-based direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation method that is resistant to faulty measurements or jamming. As demonstrated by numerical experiments, the pro...
