This paper discusses the problem of direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation using the root multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm in a bistatic multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) radar. The proposed algorithm gets the estimation of DOA and DOD via computing the roots of polynomials and it avoids the spectral peak searching in the conventional MUSIC algorithm. Thus the Root-MUSIC algorithm has much lower computational load. Simulation results illustrate our proposed algorithm has better angle estimation performance than the conventional algorithms.

This paper addresses the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation problem in the colocated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with nonorthogonal signals. The maximum number of targets that can be estimated is theoretically derived as rankRsN, where N denotes the number of receiving antennas and Rs is the cross-correlation matrix of the transmitted signals. Therefore, with the rank-deficient cross-correlation matrix, the maximum number that can be estimated is less than the radar with orthogonal signals. Then, a multiple signal classification- (MUSIC-) based algorithm is given for the nonorthogonal signals. Furthermore, the DOA estimation performance is also theoretically analyzed by the Carmér-Rao lower bound. Simulation results show that the nonorthogonality degrades the DOA estimation performance only in the scenario with the rank-deficient cross-correlation matrix.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar, and propose a total array-based multiple signals classification (TA-MUSIC) algorithm for two-dimensional direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation with a coprime cubic array (CCA). Unlike the conventional multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm, the TA-MUSIC algorithm employs not only the auto-covariance matrix but also the mutual covariance matrix by stacking the received signals of two sub cubic arrays so that full degrees of freedom (DOFs) can be utilized. We verified that the phase ambiguity problem can be eliminated by employing the coprime property. Moreover, to achieve lower complexity, we explored the estimation of signal parameters via the rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT)-based multiple signal classification (E-MUSIC) algorithm, which uses a successive scheme to be computationally efficient. The Cramer–Rao bound (CRB) was taken as a theoretical benchmark for the lower boundary of the unbiased estimate. Finally, numerical simulations were conducted in order to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithms.

The PARAFAC-MUSIC algorithm is proposed to estimate the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of the targets with Doppler frequency in a monostatic MIMO radar system in this paper. To estimate the Doppler frequency, the PARAFAC (parallel factor) algorithm is firstly utilized in the proposed algorithm, and after the compensation of Doppler frequency, MUSIC (multiple signal classification) algorithm is applied to estimate the DOA. By these two steps, the DOA of moving targets can be estimated successfully. Simulation results show that the proposed PARAFAC-MUSIC algorithm has a higher accuracy than the PARAFAC algorithm and the MUSIC algorithm in DOA estimation.

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.

In the paper, the estimation of joint direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) for strictly noncircular targets in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with unknown mutual coupling is considered, and a tensor-based angle estimation method is proposed. In the proposed method, making use of the banded symmetric Toeplitz structure of the mutual coupling matrix, the influence of the unknown mutual coupling is removed in the tensor domain. Then, a special enhancement tensor is formulated to capture both the noncircularity and inherent multidimensional structure of strictly noncircular signals. After that, the higher-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) technology is applied for estimating the tensor-based signal subspace. Finally, the direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is obtained by utilizing the rotational invariance technique. Due to the use of both noncircularity and multidimensional structure of the detected signal, the algorithm in this paper has better angle estimation performance than other subspace-based algorithms. The experiment results verify that the method proposed has better angle estimation performance.

Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation problem for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with unknown mutual coupling is studied, and an algorithm for the DOA estimation based on root multiple signal classification (MUSIC) is proposed. Firstly, according to the Toeplitz structure of the mutual coupling matrix, output data of some specified sensors are selected to eliminate the influence of the mutual coupling. Then the reduced-dimension transformation is applied to make the computation burden lower as well as obtain a Vandermonde structure of the direction matrix. Finally, Root-MUSIC can be adopted for the angle estimation. The angle estimation performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT)-like algorithm and MUSIC-like algorithm. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm has lower complexity than them. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, and the theoretical estimation error of the algorithm is also derived.

In this paper, joint direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with unknown mutual coupling is studied. An improved propagator calculation method is proposed to overcome the performance degradation problem when signal to noise ratio (SNR) is low. Thereafter, according to the Toeplitz structure of the mutual coupling matrix, the rotational invariance can be extracted for the angle estimation regardless of the mutual coupling from the augmented propagator matrix. The angle estimation performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT)-like algorithm and conventional PM-like method, and angles are automatically paired. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.

This work is mainly focused on the application of the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm for gravitational wave burst search. This algorithm extracts important gravitational wave characteristics from signals coming from detectors with arbitrary position, orientation and noise covariance. In this paper, the MUSIC algorithm is described in detail along with the necessary adjustments required for gravitational wave burst search. The algorithm's performance is measured using simulated signals and noise. MUSIC is compared with the Q-transform for signal triggering and with Bayesian analysis for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, using the Ω-pipeline. Experimental results show that MUSIC has a lower resolution but is faster. MUSIC is a promising tool for real-time gravitational wave search for multi-messenger astronomy.

A low complexity monostatic cross multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) radar scheme is proposed in this paper. The minimum-redundancy linear array (MRLA) is introduced in the cross radar to improve the efficiency of the array elements. The two-dimensional direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation problem links to the trilinear model, which automatically pairs the estimated two-dimensional angles, requiring neither eigenvalue decomposition of received signal covariance matrix nor spectral peak searching. The proposed scheme performs better than the uniform linear arrays (ULA) configuration under the same conditions, and the proposed algorithm has less computational complexity than that of multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. Simulation results show the effectiveness of our scheme.

Larger array aperture is provided by sparse arrays than uniform ones, which can improve the angle estimation resolution and reduce the cost of system evidently. However, manifold ambiguity is introduced due to the array sparsity. In this paper, a Power Estimation Multiple-Signal Classification (PE-MUSIC) algorithm is proposed to solve the manifold ambiguity of arbitrary sparse arrays for uncorrelated sources in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar. First, the paired direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) are obtained for all targets by MUSIC algorithm, including the true and spurious ones; then, the well-known Davidon–Fletcher–Powell (DFP) algorithm is applied to estimate all targets’ power values, among which the value of a spurious target trends to zero. Therefore, the ambiguity of sparse array in MIMO radar can be cleared. Simulation results verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the method.
