Simulation Results

This paper addresses the problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of coherent signals in the presence of unknown mutual coupling, and an autoregression (AR) model-based method is proposed. The effects of mutual coupling can be eliminated by the inherent mechanism of the proposed algorithm, so the DOAs can be accurately estimated without any calibration sources. After the mixing matrix is estimated by independent component analysis (ICA), several parameter equations are established upon the mixing matrix. Finally, all DOAs of coherent signals are estimated by solving these equations. Compared with traditional methods, the proposed method has higher angle resolution and estimation accuracy. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Antenna element mutual coupling degrades the performance of Direction of Arrival (DoA) estimation significantly. In this paper, a novel machine learning-based method via Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) is employed to address the DoA estimation problem under the effect of electromagnetic mutual coupling. NTK originates from Deep Neural Network (DNN) considerations, based on the limiting case of an infinite number of neurons in each layer, which ultimately leads to very efficient estimators. With the help of the Polynomial Root Finding (PRF) technique, an advanced method, NTK-PRF, is proposed. The method adapts well to multiple-signal scenarios when sources are far apart. Numerical simulations are carried out to demonstrate that this NTK-PRF approach can handle, accurately and very efficiently, multiple-signal DoA estimation problems with realistic mutual coupling.

Sparse planar arrays, such as the billboard array, the open box array, and the two-dimensional nested array, have drawn lots of interest owing to their ability of two-dimensional angle estimation. Unfortunately, these arrays often suffer from mutual-coupling problems due to the large number of sensor pairs with small spacing d (usually equal to a half wavelength), which will degrade the performance of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. Recently, the two-dimensional half-open box array and the hourglass array are proposed to reduce the mutual coupling. But both of them still have many sensor pairs with small spacing d, which implies that the reduction of mutual coupling is still limited. In this paper, we propose a new sparse planar array which has fewer number of sensor pairs with small spacing d. It is named as the thermos array because its shape seems like a thermos. Although the resulting difference coarray (DCA) of the thermos array is not hole-free, a large filled rectangular part in the DCA can be facilitated to perform spatial-smoothing-based DOA estimation. Moreover, it enjoys closed-form expressions for the sensor locations and the number of available degrees of freedom. Simulations show that the thermos array can achieve better DOA estimation performance than the hourglass array in the presence of mutual coupling, which indicates that our thermos array is more robust to the mutual-coupling array.

Digital communication signals in wireless systems may possess noncircularity, which can be used to enhance the degrees of freedom for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in sensor array signal processing. On the other hand, the electromagnetic characteristics between sensors in uniform rectangular arrays (URAs), such as mutual coupling, may significantly deteriorate the estimation performance. To deal with this problem, a robust real-valued estimator for rectilinear sources was developed to alleviate unknown mutual coupling in URAs. An augmented covariance matrix was built up by extracting the real and imaginary parts of observations containing the circularity and noncircularity of signals. Then, the actual steering vector considering mutual coupling was reparameterized to make the rank reduction (RARE) property available. To reduce the computational complexity of two-dimensional (2D) spectral search, we individually estimated y-axis and x-axis direction-cosines in two stages following the principle of RARE. Finally, azimuth and elevation angle estimates were determined from the corresponding direction-cosines respectively. Compared with existing solutions, the proposed method is more computationally efficient, involving real-valued operations and decoupled 2D spectral searches into twice those of one-dimensional searches. Simulation results verified that the proposed method provides satisfactory estimation performance that is robust to unknown mutual coupling and close to the counterparts based on 2D spectral searches, but at the cost of much fewer calculations.
