This paper proposes a robust direction of arrival estimation scheme using Modified MUSIC algorithm for Time-Modulated Linear Antenna arrays for, both coherent and non-coherent, low SNR signals. The performance of the proposed method is further verified for varying number of elements, inter-element spacing, incident angles, and SNR values and compared with the MUSIC algorithm. The simulation result...Show More
Through studying the RCS of the rotary bullet pill with slot and the relationship between its RCS and its flying attitude, a new type of system is established, which can get the rotate speed, swing cycle and pose angle of the rotary pill from the data of a velocity radar, by using the ordinary velocity radar and processing the signal of the radar. Then, the terrain of velocity radar is much enlarg...Show More
In a multipath communication scenario, it is often relevant to estimate the directions and relative delays of each multipath signal. We present an effect algorithm for the simultaneous estimation of these parameters by re-iterative super-resolution, beamforming, and MUSIC-like searching techniques. The algorithm first separates and estimates direction of arrival (DOA) of the multipath signals. Lin...Show More
This paper proposes a reduced-rank minimum description length (MDL) method to enumerate the incident waves impinging on a uniform linear array (ULA). First, a new observation data and a reference signal are formed from sensor data by means of the shift-invariance property of the ULA. A cross-correlation between them is calculated, which is able to capture signal information and efficiently suppres...Show More
The localisation of mixed signal sources includes the localisation of far-field signal and near-field signal source, which are prone to false alarms (more spectral peaks than signals) or missed alarms (fewer spectral peaks than signals) when using the traditional two-step MUSIC estimation. In order to accurately locate all signal sources’ position, the number of far-field signal and near-field sig...Show More
A new vector field smoothing algorithm for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of multiple coherent, underwater acoustic signals is proposed based on the array with vector hydrophones, which is located at or near a reflecting boundary. The performance of the proposed algorithm is examined in two practical applications: hull-mounted and seabed array. The advantage of the vector field smoothing sc...Show More

It is based on the Euclidean Algorithm for polynomial factorization and is implemented as a simple polynomial division (deconvolution) followed by a polynomial-root search. Similar to other super-resolution techniques, it reflects the exchangeability between bandwidth and si...Show More

This paper proposes a new direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm that can rapidly estimate the DOAs of incidence signals using a pseudocovariance matrix even under coherent interference environments. The conventional multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm, which should estimate a covariance matrix, cannot perform a DOA estimation until it acquires the covariance matrix. In addit...Show More
Incoherent signal subspace method (ISM) is ineffective to deal with direction of arrival (DOA) of coherent wideband signals. Although modified methods were proposed to solve this drawback, such as ISM based on modified MUSIC (MMUSIC-ISM), their performance wm seriously deteriorate when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is low. This paper proposes a method to construct the covariance matrix, namely d...Show More

Low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and weak signal direction of arrival (DOA) estimation have important implications in target orientation and signal separation. However, in the case of unknown number of source signals, traditional DOA estimation requires source number estimation in advance. At low SRN and weak signals, the source number estimation accuracy is low, leading to DOA estimation errors. I...Show More

It turns out that LROMP_DOA is an efficient method for narrowband signal, which has significant higher bearing resolution and accuracy, compare with the conventional OMP_DOA. In this paper, we propose a coherent subspace method for extension of the LROMP_DOA to wideb...Show More
MUSIC algorithm is an effective method for direction of arrival(DOA), but it can only do with incoherent signals. There are coherent signal and related signal in the actual communication environment. If the condition does not meet, there will be bias occured and even failure in the use of MUSIC algorithm for signal DOA estimation. In order to solve the problem of the DOA estimation of coherent sig...Show More
