In order to estimate the coherent source, a modified multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is introduced. And a novel arrangement method for the non-uniform linear array by particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed. This method needs merely a signal source whose direction-of-arrival (DOA) has been exactly known. The proposed method has a simple processing and a strong stabilization. It could be applied to optimized arbitrary array configuration. The simulation verifies that the performance of DOA estimation is improved effectively, which has proved the validity of the proposed method.

An arrangement method for non-uniform linear array using genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed. It is a general purpose method and needs only the angle range of the signal directions and the desired aperture of the array. It has few parameters, simple processing steps and a strong stabilization. It can be applied to optimize arbitrary array configuration. Modified multiple signal classification (MMUSIC) algorithm is discussed for estimating coherent sources using the non-uniform linear array. Simulation results show that the performance of the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation has been improved effectively on contrast with other array structures, the validity of the proposed method is proved.

<p>In order to improve resolution and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of two closely spaced sources, in context of array processing, a new algorithm is presented. However, the proposed algorithm combines both spatial sampling technic to widen the resolution and a high resolution method which is the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) to estimate the DOA of two closely spaced sources impinging on the far-field of Uniform Linear Array (ULA). Simulations examples are discussed to demonstrate the performance and the effectiveness of the proposed approach (referred as Spatial sampling MUSIC SS-MUSIC) compared to the classical MUSIC method when it’s used alone in this context.</p>

In this paper, we investigate the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation problem of noncircular signals for coprime linear array (CLA). From the perspective of the CLA as extracted from a filled uniform linear array (ULA), a noncircular root-MUSIC algorithm is proposed to estimate the DOA which can avoid the spectral peak search and lower the computational complexity. Due to the noncircular characteristic, the proposed algorithm enables to resolve more sources than sensors. Meanwhile, the proposed algorithm has better angle estimation performance than some conventional DOA estimation algorithms. Numerical simulation results illustrate the performance of the proposed method.

The DOA Estimation of the MIMO radar is widely used to determine the position of the objects. Having been considered the multipath communication environment, this paper estimates the DOA information of low elevation targets using beam space MUSIC algorithm based on the model of uniform linear array of MIMO radar. Simulations have shown that the algorithm is effective in the multipath spread environment, and the resolution of the DOA estimation of angular is about 0.5°

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.

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.
