현대의 수동형 위치 추정(passive emitter localization) 분야에서는 수신기 운용의 효율성을 위해 적은 수의 수신기를 이용한 원거리 신호원의 정밀한 위치추정을 지향한다. 적은 수의 수신기로 정밀한 위치추정을 위해서 연속적이고, 측정 정보들의 복합적 활용을 통해 위치 추정 성능 향상을 기대할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제한된 환경의 2개의 이동하는 수신기 환경에서 측정 정보별 이론적 위치추정 성능을 분석하고, 위치추정 성능이 우수할 것으로 예상되는 TDOA (time difference of arrival)와 FDOA (frequency difference of arrival), 그리고 DOA (direction of arrival) 복합 측정 정보기반으로 비선형 최소자승법 중 하나인 LM (Levenberg-Marquardt) 방법을 이용하여 지상 고정 신호원의 위치를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 구체적으로 TDOA를 이용하여 산출한 방위 모호성이 포함된 DOA들을 이용하여 신호원의 초기 위치를 산출하고, 해당 신호원의 초기 위치와 T/F/DOA를 이용하여 위치추정 성능을 향상 시킨다.

A resolution enhancement method for estimating the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of signals is presented. The proposed method is by virtually expanding a real array into virtual arrays and then averaging the spatial spectrum of the virtual arrays, each of which has a different aperture size. Superior DOA resolutions are shown in comparison with the standard algorithm, MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC), for incoherent signals incident on a uniform circular array.

In this paper, a new method is proposed for tracking the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of the wideband moving source incident on uniform linear array sensors. DOA is estimated by focusing transformation matrices. To update focusing matrices along with new data snap shots, we use the FAST (Fast Approximate Subspace Tracking) method. Present focusing matrices are constructed by previous signal and its orthogonal basis vectors as well as present signal and its orthogonal basis vectors, which are the left and right singular vectors of the inner product of two approximated matrices. Simulation results are shown to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, we introduce the direction of arrival(DOA) estimation of distributed signal based on the improved ESPRIT algorithm. Most research on the estimation of DOA has been performed based on the assumption that the signal sources are point sources. However, we consider a two-dimensional distributed signal source model using improved ESPRIT algorithm. In the distributed signal source model, a source is represented by two parameters, the azimuth angle and elevation angle. We address the estimation of the elevation and azimuth angles of distributed sources based on the parametric source modeling in the three-dimensional space with two uniform linear arrays. The array output vector is obtained by integrating a steering vector over all direction of arrival with the weighting of a distributed source density function. We also develop an efficient estimation procedures that can reduce the computational complexity. Some examples are shown to demonstrate explicity the estimation procedures under the distributed signal source model.

This paper presents an alternative technique for DOA (direction-of-arrival) estimation. For generating a weight vector orthogonal to the signal subspace, a modified version of MES (minimum eigenvalue searching ) method is introduced. The performance of the proposed technique is compared to that of the conventional ED (eigen decomposition) method in terms of angle resolution for a number of snapshots during agiven observation period as well as various SNR's. In addition, the superiority of the suggested technique is shown, by analyzing the required computational load of the proposed MES and conventional ED method. A novel procedure of simplifying the MES proposed in [1] is presented on that purpose. Another advnatage of the proposed technique is that it is performed independently of the detection of the number of signal components, which makes it possible to estimate the DOA's of clusters consisting of infinite number of inseparable signal components.

This paper introduces the development of the iterative multiple signal classification (MUSIC)-based direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation system using a rotator that can control the direction of antenna for the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) interference. The system calculates the spatial spectrum according to the noise eigenvector of all dimensions to measure the number of signals (NOS). Also, to detect the false peak, the system adjusts the array antenna's direction and checks the change's peak angles. The phase delay and gain correction values for system calibration are calculated in consideration of the chamber's structure and the characteristics of radio waves. The developed system estimated DOAs of interferences located about 1km away. The field test results show that the developed system can estimate the DOA without NOS information and detect the false peak even though the inter-element spacing is longer than the half-wavelength of the interference.

본 논문에서는 DTV의 실내수신 및 이동수신 성능 향상을 위하여 빔형성 기법을 이용하는 수신기 구조를 제안한다. 제안 DTV 수신기는 지향방향으로의 이득을 일정하게 유지하면서 출력 신호의 전력을 최소화시키는 Capon 입사각 추정 기법을 이용하여 주경로와 다중경로 신호의 입사각을 추정한다. 추정된 주경로 신호의 입사각으로 적응 빔 패턴을 형성시켜서 다중경로 신호를 약화시킨다. 잔존하는 다중경로 신호는 빔형성기 이후에 존재하는 결정 궤환 등화기를 이용하여 제거한다. 제안한 입사각 추정 기반 DTV 수신기는 빔형성을 수행한 이후에 기존의 다양한 등화기술을 그대로 적용할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 브라질 필드테스트채널에서 각 경로신호의 입사각을 설정한 후 제안 DTV 수신기의 성능분석을 수행하였다. 모의 실험 결과로부터 4개의 안테나 소자를 사용하는 제안 DTV 수신기는 입력 신호 대잡음비가 10dB 이상일 경우 모든 브라질 채널에서 TOV를 만족시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

전파 신호 방향의 추정은 레이더 및 무선 통신에서 주요한 분야이다. 일반적으로 방향 탐지기법들은 이상적인 배열 센서의 입력 신호에 신호 처리 기법을 적용하여 연구를 진행해 왔다. 하지만 전파를 이용한 방향 탐지에서 사용되는 배열 센서인 안테나는 배열 구조에서 안테나 소자 간에 상호 결합으로 인한 입력 신호의 왜곡 현상이 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 그러므로 이러한 상호 결합에 의한 신호의 왜곡 현상을 보상하는 기법이 정밀한 방향 탐지를 위해서 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 다이폴 배열 안테나 구조에서 배열 소자 간의 상호 결합 현상을 MoM 기법을 이용하여 보상하고, 이를 통하여 신호원의 방위각 및 고각의 방향을 추정하는 연구를 진행하였다.

GPS is vulnerable to jamming because of extremely low signal power. Many anti-jamming techniques are studied for complement this vulnerability. Anti-jamming techniques using array antenna are most effective technique and these techniques are required the DOA estimates. MUSIC algorithm and Root-MUSIC Algorithm are typical algorithms used in DOA estimation. Two algorithms have different characteristics, so the choice of an algorithm may depends on many factors such as the environment and the system requirements. The analysis and performance comparison of both algorithms is necessary to choose the best method to apply. This paper summarizes the theory of MUSIC and Root-MUSIC algorithms. And this paper extends both algorithm to estimate two-dimensional angles. The software simulator of both algorithms are implemented to evaluate the performance. Root-MUSIC algorithm has the computational advantage on ULA. MUSIC algorithm is applicable to any antenna array. MUSIC shows better estimation performance when number of array element is small while the computational load of MUSIC is much higher than Root-MUSIC.

Researchers have recently shown an increased interest in estimating the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of wideband noncircular sources, but existing studies have been restricted to subspace-based methods. An off-grid sparse recovery-based algorithm is proposed in this paper to improve the accuracy of existing algorithms in low signal-to-noise ratio situations. The covariance and pseudo covariance matrices can be jointly represented subject to block sparsity constraints by taking advantage of the joint sparsity between signal components and bias. Furthermore, the estimation problem is transformed into a single measurement vector problem utilizing the focused operation, resulting in a significant reduction in computational complexity. The proposed algorithm's error threshold and the Cramer-Rao bound for wideband noncircular DOA estimation are deduced in detail. The proposed algorithm's effectiveness and feasibility are demonstrated by simulation results.
