In this paper, we propose an ESPRIT based algorithm for target position estimation with uniform linear array (ULA) and uniform circular array (UCA) at transmitter and receiver, respectively. When UCA is adopted at the receiver, unlike the case of ULA at the receiver, the rotational invariance of the received signal is satisfied. Although there has been an attempt to resolve this issue, the problem of direction of departure estimation has not been considered. In this paper, we provide an ESPRIT based algorithm to simultaneously estimate transmitter elevation angle, receiver elevation angle, and receiver azimuth angle, taking into account the transmitter antennas as well as the receiver antennas.

A high resolution algorithm is presented for resolving multiple narrowband plane waves that are incident on an equispaced linear array. To overcome the deleterious effects due to coherent sources, a number of noise-eigenvector-based approaches have been proposed for narrowband signal processing. For differing reasons, each f these methods provide a less than satisfactory resolution of the coherency problem. The proposed algorithm makes use of fundamental property possessed by those eigenvectors of the spatial covariance matrix that are associated with eigenvalues that are larger than the sensor noise level. This property is then used to solve the incoherent and coherent sources incident on an equispaced linear array. Simulation results are shown to illustrate the high resolution performance achieved with this new approach relative to that obtained with MUSIC and spatial smoothed MUSIC.

In the wireless communication system based on an array antenna, the angle of arrival (AOA) information of signal is very important element and various AOA estimation algorithms have been studied. Although most AOA estimation algorithms employ the uniform linear array (ULA), some algorithms apply the planar array (PA) antenna. In this paper, we present an algorithm for efficiently estimating AOAs of adjacent multiple signals, based on the uniform rectangular array antenna. This approach has two steps; after approximately estimating AOA groups consisting of the closely located signal sources using CAPON, accurately estimating the individual AOA of each signal in the estimated AOA group using Beamsapce MUSIC. The estimation performance of the presented cascade AOA algorithm is illustrated through the computer simulation example.

Adaptive array is using the array of antenna elements spatially and its output is the sum of each antenna elements output signal which is multiplied by the controlled weight coefficients corresponding to each elements. In this paper, for the BPSK and BFSK signals with S/I=2, S/N=10 is applied to the linear array antenna using the LMS & the Kalman filter algorithm. For the 4 elements equidistance linear array antenna system LMS and Kalman filter algorithm was used as the adaptive instruction principles and the application results to the constant amplitude envelope signals such as BPSK or BFSK can be seen that the computer simulation results are very fast in the convergence characteristics of directional patterns and the signal following characteristics.

본 논문에서는 등간격 선형어레이로 입사한 인코히어런트신호의 도래각을 추정하기 위하여 행렬특성매핑을 기본으로 한 알고리듬을 제안한다. 알로리듬의 기본 개념은 공분산 행렬 초정값과 Frobenius norm 면에서 가장 가까운 공분산 행렬 (혹은 스펙트럼 밀도행렬)을 찾는 것이다. 제안된 알고리듬의 우수한 성능을 보여주기 위하여 협대역 신호인 경우에는 MUSIC과 광대역 신호인 경우에는 CSM-MUSIC과 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 통계적 성능을 비교하였다.

A calibration technique is proposed to improve the performance of 2-D towed array shape estimation using the Kalman filter. In the case of using displacement sensors, 2-D hydrophone positions estimated by the Kalman filter are calculated by assuming that the adjacent hydrophones are horizontally equi-spaced so that maximum distance is equal to the array length. The assumption causes errors in estimating hydrophone positions. The proposed technique using linear model approximation or spline interpolation can reduce the errors by exploiting the fact that the whole length of array is preserved whatever the array shape is. The numerical experiments show that the proposed method is very effective.

In this paper, we employ the modulation technique for improving the characteristics of beamformer in the low frequencies and thus improving the overall noise reduction performance. In the 1-dimensional uniform linear microphone arrays, we can suppress the narrowband noise component using the delay-and-sum beamforming. But, for the wideband noise signal, the delay-and-sum beamformer does not work well for the reduction of low frequency component because the inter-element spacing is usually set to avoid spatial aliasing at high frequencies. Hence, the beamwidth is not uniform with respect to each frequency and it is usually wider at the low frequencies. In order to obtain the beamwidth independent of frequencies, subarray systems[1][2][3][4] and multi-beamforming[5] have been proposed. However these algorithms need large space and more microphones since they are based on the theory that the size of the array is proportional to the wavelength of the input signal. In the proposed beamformer, we reduce the low frequency noise by using modulation technique that does not need additional sensors or non-uniform spacing. More Precisely, the array signals are split into subbands, and the low frequency components are shifted to high frequencies by modulation and reduced by the delay-and-sum beamforming techniques with small size microphone array. Experimental results show that the proposed technique Provides better performance than the conventional ones, especially in the low frequency band.

In this paper, estimation methods of cell searching and DoA (Direction of Arrival) for mobile relay stations with a uniform linear array are proposed. The proposed methods can improve the performance of cell searching and DoA estimation by removing the effect of STOs when there exist symbol timing offsets (STOs) between the signals received from adjacent base stations,. Also, the proposed methods can improve the performance of DoA estimation significantly when there exists Doppler frequency shift caused by movement of the mobile relay station. The performances and computational complexities of the proposed cell searching and DoA methods are evaluated by computer simulation under Mobile WiMAX environments.
