A new computationally efficient algorithm-based propagator method for two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is proposed, which uses two parallel uniform linear arrays. The algorithm takes advantage of the special structure of the array which enables 2-D DOA estimation without pair matching. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves very accurate estimation at a computational cost 4 dB lower than that of standard methods.

This paper proposes a direction-of-arrival (DOA)-based beamforming approach for multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output systems with uniform rectangular arrays (URAs). The proposed approach utilizes the steering vectors of the URA to form a basis of the spatial space and selects the partial space for beamforming according to the DOA information. As a result, the proposed approach is of lower computational complexity than the existing methods which utilize the channel covariance matrices. Moreover, the analysis demonstrates that the proposed approach can eliminate the interference in the limit of infinite number of the URA antennas. Since the proposed approach utilizes the multipaths to enhance the signal rather than discarding them, the proposed approach is of better performance than the existing low-complexity method, which is verified by the simulation results.

본 논문은 동일한 주파수 파라미터를 가지고 다른 방위에서 입사하는 chirp신호의 방위각 (DOA : Direction-of-arrival) 추정에서 상호 간섭으로 인한 bias문제를 해결하기 위하여 적응 chirp 빔형성기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 기존의 STMV (STeered Minimum Variance)기법에 chirp 신호의 시간-주파수 특성을 고려함으로써 chirp신호들의 상호 간섭을 보다 효과적으로 감소시켜 방위각 추정성능을 향상시킨다. 모의 실험에서 제안한 기법과 기존의 기법들에 의한 방위각 추정성능을 비교한다.

This paper presents a non-contact measurement method of vital signal by the use of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) bio-radar system, configured with two antennas that are separated by a certain distance. The direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm for coherent sources was applied to detect vital signals coming from different spatial angles. The proposed MIMO bio-radar system was composed of two identical transceivers sharing single VCO with a PLL. In order to verify the performance of the system, the DOA estimation experiment was completed with respect to the human target at angles varying between $-50^{\circ}$ and $50^{\circ}$ where the bio-radar system was placed at distances (corresponding to 50 cm and 95 cm) in front of a human target. The proposed MIMO bio-radar system can successfully find the direction of a human target.

본 논문에서는 바이스태틱 MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) 레이더 시스템에서 다중 신호의 DOA(Direction of Arrival)의 추정을 위한 2차원 Matrix Pencil Method(MPM) 기반 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 2차원 MPM은 낮은 SNR 환경에서도 기존 알고리즘에 비해 적은 연산량으로 다수의 DOA 추정이 가능하고, 송신기에서의 표적 각도인 DOD(Direction of Departure)도 동시 추정이 가능하다. 본 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하기 위해 등간격 선형 배열구조의 MIMO 레이더 시스템에서 SNR에 따른 DOA 및 DOD의 RMSE(Root Mean Square Error)를 확인하였고, 2차원 Capon 기법과 비교하였다.

In this paper, we introduce the direction of arrival(DOA) estimation of distributed signal based on the improved ESPRIT algorithm. Most research on the estimation of DOA has been performed based on the assumption that the signal sources are point sources. However, we consider a two-dimensional distributed signal source model using improved ESPRIT algorithm. In the distributed signal source model, a source is represented by two parameters, the azimuth angle and elevation angle. We address the estimation of the elevation and azimuth angles of distributed sources based on the parametric source modeling in the three-dimensional space with two uniform linear arrays. The array output vector is obtained by integrating a steering vector over all direction of arrival with the weighting of a distributed source density function. We also develop an efficient estimation procedures that can reduce the computational complexity. Some examples are shown to demonstrate explicity the estimation procedures under the distributed signal source model.

Researchers have recently shown an increased interest in estimating the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of wideband noncircular sources, but existing studies have been restricted to subspace-based methods. An off-grid sparse recovery-based algorithm is proposed in this paper to improve the accuracy of existing algorithms in low signal-to-noise ratio situations. The covariance and pseudo covariance matrices can be jointly represented subject to block sparsity constraints by taking advantage of the joint sparsity between signal components and bias. Furthermore, the estimation problem is transformed into a single measurement vector problem utilizing the focused operation, resulting in a significant reduction in computational complexity. The proposed algorithm's error threshold and the Cramer-Rao bound for wideband noncircular DOA estimation are deduced in detail. The proposed algorithm's effectiveness and feasibility are demonstrated by simulation results.
