Icassp 92 DIRECTION FINDING ALGORITHMS USING FOURTH ORDER STATISTICS. ASYMPTOTIC PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

چکیده
This communication deals with high-resolution direction finding using higher-order cumulants of the array data. Two 4th-order cumulant-based matrices are considered : the diagonal cumulant slice and the contracted quadricovariance. They are evaluated in the context of DOA estimation using "subspace" techniques. To this purpose, we introduce an original methodology to derive the closed form of asymptotical performance. This analysis is applied to the cumulant based DOA estimation problem, establishing on a rational basis the domain of applicability of HOS in DOA estimation which is larger than usually believed. It is also shown that the contracted quadricovariance outperforms the diagonal slice in all respects. Some numerical evaluations illustrate the results.

Second and fourth order statistics-based reduced polynomial rooting direction finding algorithms
Polynomial rooting direction finding (DF) algorithms are a computationally efficient alternative to search based DF algorithms and are particularly suitable for uniform linear arrays (ULA) of physically identical elements provided mutual interaction among the array elements can be either neglected or compensated for. A popular algorithm in such situations is Root MUSIC (RM) wherein the estimati...
متن کاملSecond-order versus Fourth-order Music Algorithms : an Asymptotical Statistical Analysis
Direction finding techniques are usually based on the 2ndorder statistics of the received data. In this paper, we propose a MUSIC-like direction finding algorithm which uses a matrix-valued statistic based on the contraction of the 4thorder cumulant tensor of the array data (4-2 MUSIC). We then derive, in a unified framework, the asymptotic covariance of estimation errors for both 2nd-order and...
متن کاملCardoso and Moulines : Asymptotic Performance of Direction Finding Based on Cumulants
| In the narrow band array processing context, the use of higher-order statistics has been often advocated because consistent and asymptotically unbiased parameter estimates can be obtained without it being necessary to know, to model or to estimate the spatial covariance of the noise as long as it is normally distributed. However, experimentation shows that this`noise insensitivity' is traded ...
متن کاملHigher order direction finding from rectangular cumulant matrices: The rectangular 2q-MUSIC algorithms
Fourth-order (FO) high resolution direction finding methods such as 4-MUSIC have been developed for more than two decades for non-Gaussian sources mainly to overcome the limitations of second order (SO) high resolution methods such as MUSIC. In order to increase the performance of 4-MUSIC in the context of multiple sources, the MUSIC method has recently been extended to an arbitrary even order ...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of blind carrier frequency offset and symbol timing delay estimators in flat-fading channels
By exploiting the received signal’s second-order cyclostationary statistics, blind algorithms have been recently proposed for joint estimation of the frequency offset and the symbol timing delay of a linearly modulated waveform transmitted through a flat-fading channel. The goal of this paper is to establish and analyze the asymptotic (large sample) performance of the Gini-Giannakis [4] and Gho...
