In this paper, a sub-array divided technique using K-means algorithm for spherical conformal array is proposed. All elements of spherical conformal array can be divided into a few sub-arrays by employing the K-means algorithm, and the standard multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is applied to estimate signals Direction-of-arrival (DOA) on these sub-arrays. Simulations of estimating DOA on a rotational spherical conformal array have been made and the results show that the resolution of DOA is improved by our method compare to existing methods.

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.

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.

<p>This study presents the conception, simulation, realisation and characterisation of a patch antenna for Wi-Fi. The antenna is designed at the frequency of 2.45 GHz; the dielectric substrate used is FR4_epoxy which has a dielectric permittivity of 4.4.this patch antenna is used to estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) using 2-D Multiple Signal Classification (2-D MUSIC) the case of the proposed  uniform circular arrays (UCA). The comparison between Uniform circular arrays and Uniform Linear arrays (ULA) demonstrate that the proposed structure give better angles resolutions compared to ULAs.</p>

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.

This article proposed a multiple signal classification method based on array signal processing for impact source localization in a plate. For source localization, the direction of arrival of the wave caused by an impact on a plate and the distance between the impact position and sensor should be estimated. The direction of arrival can be estimated accurately using the multiple signal classification method; the distance can be obtained using the time delay of arrival and the group velocity of the Lamb wave in a plate. The time delay of arrival is experimentally estimated using the continuous wavelet transform for the wave. The group velocity is theoretically obtained based on the elastodynamic theory.

A spherical antenna array (SAA) is the configuration of choice in obtaining an antenna array with isotropic characteristics. An SAA has the capacity to receive an electromagnetic wave (EM) with equal intensity irrespective of the direction-of-arrival (DoA) and polarization. Therefore, the DoA estimation of electromagnetic (EM) waves impinging on an SAA with unknown mutual coupling needs to be considered. In the spherical domain, the traditional multiple signal classification algorithm (SH-MUSIC) is faced with a computational complexity problem. This paper presents a one-dimensional MUSIC method (1D-MUSIC) for the estimation of the azimuth and elevation angles. An intermediate mapping matrix that exists between Fourier series and the spherical harmonic function is designed, and the Fourier series Vandermonde structure is used for the realization of the polynomial rooting technique. This mapping matrix can be computed prior to the DoA estimation, and it is only a function of the array configuration. Based on the mapping matrix, the 2-D angle search is transformed into two 1-D angle findings. Employing the features of the Fourier series, two root polynomials are designed for the estimation of the elevation and azimuth angles, spontaneously. The developed method avoids the 2-D spectral search, and angles are paired in automation. Both numerical simulation results, and results from experimental measured data (i.e., with mutual coupling effect incorporated), show the validity, potency, and potential practical application of the developed algorithm.
