The performance of a direction-finding system is significantly degraded by the imperfection of an array. In this paper, the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation problem is investigated in the uniform linear array (ULA) system with the unknown mutual coupling (MC) effect. The system model with MC effect is formulated. Then, by exploiting the signal sparsity in the spatial domain, a compressed-sensing (CS)-based system model is proposed with the MC coefficients, and the problem of DOA estimation is converted into that of a sparse reconstruction. To solve the reconstruction problem efficiently, a novel DOA estimation method, named sparse-based DOA estimation with unknown MC effect (SDMC), is proposed, where both the sparse signal and the MC coefficients are estimated iteratively. Simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve better performance of DOA estimation in the scenario with MC effect than the state-of-the-art methods, and improve the DOA estimation performance about 31.64 % by reducing the MC effect by about 4 dB.

Mutual coupling is compensated in a four element uniform linear receiving array using software defined radios. Direction of arrival (DoA) is estimated in real-time for the array with spacing d=lambda/4. The decoupling matrix was measured using a VNA for only one incident angle. After compensation the error in DoA estimation was reduced to 5%. Comparing the DoA results with d=lambda/2 spaced Uniform Linear Array (ULA), 1.2% error was observed. Although, the experiment was performed indoors with a low SNR, the results show a substantial improvement in the estimated DoA after compensation.

This paper considers the problem of estimating the direction of arrival (DOA) for the both incoherent and coherent signals from narrowband sources, located in the far field in the case of uniform linear array sensors. Three different methods are analyzed. Specifically, these methods are Music, Root-Music and ESPRIT. The pros and cons of these methods are identified and compared in light of different viewpoints. The performance of the three methods is evaluated, analytically, when possible, and by Matlab simulation. This paper can be a roadmap for beginners in understanding the basic concepts of DOA estimation issues, properties and performance.

In this paper, we address the angle estimation problem in linear array with some ill sensors (partially-well sensors), which only work well randomly. The output of the array will miss some values, and this can be regarded as a low-rank matrix completion problem due to the property that the number of sources is smaller than the number of the total sensors. The output of the array, which is corrupted by the missing values and the noise, can be complete via the Optspace method, and then the angles can be estimated according to the complete output. The proposed algorithm works well for the array with some ill sensors; moreover, it is suitable for non-uniform linear array. Simulation results illustrate performance of the algorithm.
