Rayleigh Limit

To the conformal array antennas, the conventional DOA estimation algorithms will be affected by the Rayleigh limit. While, the MUSIC algorithm can solve this problem, it fully utilizes the orthogonality of noise subspace and signal subspace. It can achieve the DOA estimation through the spectrum peak search. The MUSIC algorithm is analyzed. Based on the cylindrical and conical array antenna, the algorithms are simulated. The simulation results show that the array arrangement mode can exert an important influence on the DOA estimation.

Polynomial Root Finding

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.

Simulation Results

A UCA-Root-MUSIC algorithm for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is proposed in this paper which is based on UCA-RB-MUSIC [1]. The method utilizes not only a unitary transformation matrix different from UCA-RB-MUSIC but also the multi-stage Wiener filter (MSWF) to estimate the signal subspace and the number of sources, so that the new method has lower computational complexity and is more conducive to the real-time implementation. The computer simulation results demonstrate the improvement with the proposed method.

Simulation Results

Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation is of great interest due to its wide applications in sonar, radar and many other areas. However, the near-field interference is always presented in the received data, which may result in degradation of DOA estimation. An approach which can suppress the near-field interference and preserve the far-field signal desired by using a spatial matrix filter is proposed in this paper and some typical DOA estimation algorithms are adjusted to match the filtered data. Simulation results show that the approach can improve capability of DOA estimation under near-field inference efficiently.

The MUSIC algorithm cannot deal with the problem of DOA estimation of coherent sources, this paper proposes the USTC (unitary spatio-temporal correlation matrices)-MUSIC algorithm using single vector hydrophone to solve this problem, by utilizing the unitary spatio-temporal correlation matrix instead of the covariance matrix. The simulation results demonstrate that the USTC-MUSIC algorithm has a better ability to distinguish the coherent sources from different directions than the spatial smoothing MUSIC algorithm.

Cramer Rao Bound

A dual-polarized multiple signal classification (DP-MUSIC) algorithm is presented to estimate the arrival directions and polarizations for a dual-polarized conformal array. Each polarization signal is decomposed into two orthogonal polarization components, which are considered to be a pair of coherent signals coming from the same direction but different polarization. The polarization parameters are modeled as the equivalent coherence coefficients of the orthogonal polarization components. Then, the method of decoherence can be used to decouple the information of polarization states and signal angles. After that, the direction of arrival (DOA) and polarization parameters can be estimated by the DP-MUSIC algorithm. Moreover, the angles of incident direction are re-estimated, which greatly improves the accuracy of DOA estimation. The Cramer–Rao bound (CRB) is derived and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by Monte Carlo simulations.

Most conventional direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms are affected by the effect of mutual coupling, which make the performance of DOA estimation degrade. In this paper, a novel DOA estimation algorithm for conformal array in the presence of unknown mutual coupling is proposed. The special mutual coupling matrix (MCM) is applied to eliminate the effect of mutual coupling. With suitable array design, the decoupling between polarization parameter and angle information is accomplished. The two-demission DOA (2D-DOA) estimation is finally achieved based on estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT). The proposed algorithm can be extended to conical conformal array as well. Two parameter pairing methods are illustrated for cylindrical and conical conformal array, respectively. The computer simulation verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper proposes the design of a four-element array planar antenna based on a single antenna that combines the Double Positive (DPS) and Epsilon Negative (ENG) materials. The single antenna consists of a microstrip segment (which is equivalent to a DPS material) connected to a grounded microstrip segment (which is equivalent to an ENG material). T-Junction power dividers with one-input and two-output ports are used for feeding the two-element and the four-element array antennas. The proposed array antenna is designed to operate optimally at 30GHz frequency under Finite Element Method (FEM)-based simulation. The obtained simulation results show that the proposed array antennas have good radiation performances, in which the four-element array antenna has a -10dB bandwidth ranging from 28.7 to 33.4GHz and 12.9dBi gain.

Finding Method

The limited space of a conformal array may lead to a serious mutual coupling effect, which will significantly affect the performance of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms. In this paper, an efficient 2-D direction finding method is developed in the presence of unknown mutual coupling for the uniform cylindrical conformal array (CCA). To avoid the time-consuming two-dimensional spectral peak searching, the 2-D DOA estimation is decoupled and divided into two 1-D DOA estimations. Elevation is first estimated based on a subarray estimation of signal parameters via rotation invariant technique (ESPRIT), and then azimuth is estimated based on the rank reduction (RARE) method by using the elevation estimation result. Consequently, the mutual coupling coefficients can be estimated after getting the DOA estimates. The proposed method can well calibrate the mutual coupling effect of a cylindrical array with a low computational complexity. The final simulation results corroborate our analysis.
