This paper presents a signal direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation approach that possesses excellent performance in spatial and temporal correlated signals environments. Firstly, an algebraic solution of the null subspace is derived based on the Vandermonde structured steering vectors of uniform linear array when all the sources possess identical nonzero mean value, and then, the DOA estimation is obtained with a polynomial rooting method. The novel algorithm performs much better than the conventional algorithms in the situation that the sources are closely spaced or correlated, and simulations have verified the validity of the algorithm.

In order to improve the angle measurement performance of a coprime linear array, this paper proposes a novel direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm for a coprime linear array based on the multiple invariance estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (MI-ESPRIT) and a lookup table method. The proposed algorithm does not require a spatial spectrum search and uses a lookup table to solve ambiguity, which reduces the computational complexity. To fully use the subarray elements, the DOA estimation precision is higher compared with existing algorithms. Moreover, the algorithm avoids the matching error when multiple signals exist by using the relationship between the signal subspace of two subarrays. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The algorithm of DOA estimation for non-uniform linear array with Parallel Factor (PARAFAC) and power loading is carried out detailed studies and simulation in this paper, and we use Trilinear Alternating Least Squares (TALS) estimation algorithm to estimate the DOA of signal source. In addition, we make a simulation analysis and comparison of different parameters (Signal-to-noise ratio, the number of snapshots, the number of antenna elements, the number of targets, the similar angles) and different algorithm. Finally the thesis summarizes the work.

In this paper, an off-grid direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation algorithm which can work on a non-uniform linear array (NULA) is proposed. The original semidefinite programming (SDP) representation of the atomic norm exploits a summation of one-rank matrices constructed by atoms, where the summation of one-rank matrices equals a Hermitian Toeplitz matrix when using the uniform linear array (ULA). On the other hand, when the antennas in the array are placed arbitrarily, the summation of one-rank matrices is a Hermitian matrix whose diagonal elements are equivalent. Motivated by this property, the proposed algorithm replaces the Hermitian Toeplitz matrix in the original SDP with the constrained Hermitian matrix. Additionally, when the antennas are placed symmetrically, the performance can be enforced by adding extra constraints to the Hermitian matrix. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves higher estimation accuracy and resolution than other algorithms on both array structures; i.e., the arbitrary array and the symmetric array.

In practical array systems, the gain-phase errors among antennas degrade the performance of direction finding significantly. In this paper, a novel sparse system model for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in the scenario with gain-phase errors is proposed by exploiting the signal sparsity in the spatial domain. In contrast to the existing sparse-based methods using the grids to construct the dictionary matrix, a novel gridless method based on atomic norm and convex optimization is proposed, where the gain-phase errors are described by a diagonal matrix. With the Schur complement, a semidefinite programming is formulated from the optimization problem, and can be solved efficiently. With the gain-phase errors, the corresponding Cram’er-Rao lower bound (CRLB) of direction finding is derived as an estimation benchmark. Simulation results show that the proposed method performs better than the state-of-the-art methods in the scenario with correlated signals and gain-phase errors.

This paper discusses that the application of compressive sensing in direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. Traditional DOA estimation algorithms, such as MUSIC, ESPRIT, have shortcomings of high demand of initialization and sufficient number of snapshots and high sensitivity to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The proposed DOA estimation algorithm via OMP method based on compressed sensing (CS) can solve the above-mentioned problem and has good estimation performance. Computer simulations verify the effectiveness of the OMP algorithm.

This paper discussed the problem of two dimensional (2D) direction of arrival (DOA) estimation for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar. The minimum-redundancy linear array (MLRA) is introduced into the transmitting array and receiving array, which enables the high efficiency of the radar system. By utilizing the algorithm of multiple signal classification (MUSIC), we illustrate that the proposed scheme performs better than the uniform linear arrays (ULA) configuration under the same conditions. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of our scheme.
