An Enhancement Method for Covariance Matrix Estimate with Uniform Circular Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new algorithm of enhancing covariance matrix estimate to be used for estimating the directions-of-arrival (DOAs) of multiple incoherent signals incident on a uniform circular array. The underlying covariance matrix possesses a special theoretical property such as having spatial stationarity. The proposed enhancement approach based on the use of this property is found to provide improved DOA estimates in comparison to the unenhanced MUSIC for narrowband incoherent signals. key words: circular array, spatial stationarity, DOA

Space-Time Adaptive Processing Using Circular Arrays
A direct data-domain (D3) least-squares space-time adaptive-processing (STAP) approach is presented for adaptively enhancing signals in a non-homogeneous environment of jammers, clutter, and thermal noise, utilizing a circular antenna array. The non-homogeneous environment may consist of non-stationary clutter. The D3 approach is applied directly to the data collected by a circular antenna arra...
متن کاملA Modified Denoise Approach for UCA DOA Estimation in Low SNR Case
When the uniform circular array (UCA) is used to estimate the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of the coherent sources, it is necessary to transform the UCA data to the interpolated uniform linear array (ULA) data. Thus, the transformed array data can be applied to the spatial processing algorithm for the coherent sources such as the forward-backward smoothing algorithm. To select a more robust trans...
متن کاملGeneralized rectification in the L1-norm with application to robust array processing
We present in this paper a multiple linear regression scheme in the L1-norm which operates on the array output covariance matrix. The proposed method rectifies the covariance matrix by exploiting the structural properties resulting from the array geometry. In the case of a defective sensor, it is able to fully restore the covariance which would be observed if all sensors were working correctly....

متن کاملA Noise Removal Method for Uniform Circular Arrays in Complex Underwater Noise Environments with Low SNR
Generally, many beamforming methods are derived under the assumption of white noise. In practice, the actual underwater ambient noise is complex. As a result, the noise removal capacity of the beamforming method may be deteriorated considerably. Furthermore, in underwater environment with extremely low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the performances of the beamforming method may be deteriorated. ...
