In many practical direction-of-arrival (DOA) problems the number of sources and their directions from an antenna array do not remain stationary. Hence a practical DOA algorithm must be able to track changes with a minimal number of snapshots. In this paper we describe DOA algorithms, based on a new decomposition, that are not expensive to compute or diicult to update. The algorithms are compare...

One of the important issues in many of array systems such as Radar, Sonar, Mobile, and satellite telecommunications is the estimation of DOA of narrowband received signal. CRB is very important in evaluation of parameter estimation. CRB is the lower bound estimation error variance for any unbiased estimation. In this paper, the array antenna with equal distance arrays is extended in two separat...

In this paper, a new direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm, direction lock loop (DiLL), is proposed. It has a similar concept to the delay lock loop (DLL) that is used for synchronization. It estimates the DOA of a signal by iterations, and can track the DOA of a moving source. The DiLL scheme is found to track better than the DOA estimation scheme based on the PASTd, and its performa...

This paper presents a tool for the analysis, and simulation of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in wireless mobile communication systems over the fading channel. It reviews two methods of Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm. The standard Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) can be obtained from the subspace based methods. In improved MUSIC procedure called Cyclic MUSIC, it ca...

In signal processing, the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation denotes the direction from which a propagating wave arrives at a point, where a set of antennas is located. Using the array antenna has an advantage over the single antenna in achieving an improved performance by applying Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. This paper focuses on estimating the DOA using uniform linear...

The smart antenna systems combine antenna arrays with digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms. In a smart antenna system a specialized signal processor computes the direction of arrival (DOA) of a user and also adds the strength of the signals from each antenna element together to form a beam towards the direction as computed by DOA. If additional users join in

Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in smart antenna for identifying the directions of the desired signals and the null steering beamformer to adapts the antenna pattern to steer the main beam towards the desired user and nullify ...

In this contribution, we propose a DOA (Direction Of Arrival) estimation method of speech signal whose angular resolution is almost uniform with respect to DOA. Our previous DOA estimation method[1] achieves high precision with only two microphones, however its resolution degrades as the propagating direction apart from the array broadside. In the proposed method, the equilateral-triangular mic...

The term smart antenna incorporates all situations in which a system is using an antenna array and the antenna pattern is dynamically adjusted by the system required.Two major issues in smart antennas are Direciton of Arrival (DOA) estimation and beamforming. The Direction of Arrival of all the incoming signals including the interfering signals are estimated using DOA algorithms.Some of the DOA...
