Abstract

ESPRIT(Estimation of Signal Parameter via Rotational Invariance Techniques) estimates DOAs(directions of arrival) of the incident signals on a sensor array by exploiting the shift invariance between its two subarrays. This paper suggests an efficient DOA estimation method based on ESPRIT when coherent signals impinge on the sensor array. When applying ESPRIT, it is necessary to find a signal subspace. Though the widely known SS(spatial smoothing) method allows us to obtain a signal subspace in the presence of coherent signals, its computational complexity is very high. Recently a CV(correlation vector) based method has been presented which is computationally simple. However, the number of resolvable signals in the method is smaller than that in the SS based method when multiple coherent signal groups are present. The proposed method in this paper, which obtains a signal subspace by utilizing only part of the correlation matrix, significantly reduces the computational complexity as compared with the SS based one, while the former is resolving the same number of coherent signals as the latter,

센서 어레이(sensor array)가 천이불변(shift invariance) 성질을 가질 때, ESPRIT(Estimation of Signal Parameter via Rotational Invariance Techniques) 방식은 이를 이용하여 어레이에 도래하는 신호의 도래각을 추정한다. 본 논문에서는 ESPRIT 방식을 적용하여 코히런트 신호의 도래각을 효과적으로 추정하는 방법을 제시한다. ESPRIT 방식은 신호부공간(signal subspace)을 이용한다. 코히런트 신호가 존재할 때, 신호부공간을 구하는 방법으로 SS(spatial smoothing) 방식이 널리 알려져 있으나 계산이 매우 복잡하다. 최근에 발표된 CV(correlation vector)에 기초한 방식은 계산은 간단하지만 SS 방식보다 작은 수의 신호를 분해한다. 제안 방식은 상관행렬의 일부를 이용하여 신호부공간을 구성하여 도래각을 추정한다. SS 방식과 비교하여, 제안 방식에서는 분해 가능한 신호의 수는 동일하면서 계산량을 크게 줄일 수 있다.
