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.

In satellite systems, efficient communication and observation require identifying of specific signal arrival points using onboard antenna systems. When utilizing massive array antennas to estimate the angle of arrival (AOA) of signals, traditional high-performance AOA estimation algorithms such as Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) encounter extremely high complexity due to the numerous individual antenna elements. Although, in order to improve this computational complexity problem, the cascade AOA estimation algorithm with CAPON and beamspace-MUSIC was recently proposed, the comparison of the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm across different massive array antenna configurations has not yet been conducted. In this paper, we provide the analyzed results of the computational complexity of the proposed cascade algorithm based on various massive array antennas, and determine an optimal antenna configuration for the efficient AOA estimation in satellite systems.

모델 오차 효과 및 민감도 분석을 사용하여 도래 방향 추정의 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 원하는 신호가 모델 오차 교정 효과를 통해 간섭을 제거한 후 얻어지게 되므로 추정에 있어서 채널 간섭 영향이 크게 줄어들게 된다. 모의실험을 통해 본 연구에서 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 분해능과 정확성 추정이 향상되었음을 입증하였다.

In this paper, we study the estimation of angle, range and polarization parameters of a bistatic polarization sensitive frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output (PSFDA-MIMO) radar system. The application of polarization sensitive array in receiver is explored. A signal model of bistatic PSFDA-MIMO radar system is established. In order to utilize the multi-dimensional structure of array signals, the matched filtering radar data can be represented by a third-order tensor model. A joint estimation of the direction-of-departure (DOD), direction-of-arrival (DOA), range and polarization parameters based on parallel factor (PARAFAC) algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm does not need to search spectral peaks and singular value decomposition, and can obtain automatic pairing estimation. The method was compared with the existing methods, and the results show that the performance of the method is better. Therefore, the accuracy of the parameter estimation is further improved.

Mine detection has been mainly studied with images of the forward-looking sonar. Forward-looking sonar assumes the propagation path of the sound wave as a straight path, creating the surrounding images. This might lead to errors in the detection by ignoring the refraction of the sound wave. In this study, we propose a mine localization method that can robustly identify the location of mines in an underwater environment by considering the refraction of sound waves. We propose a method of estimating the elevation angle of arrival of the target echo signal in a single receiver, and estimate the mine location by applying the estimated elevation angle of arrival to ray tracing. As a result of simulation, the method proposed in this paper was more effective in estimating the mine localization than the existing method that assumed the propagation path as a straight line.

The diagnostic used to observe the early flame development was a fiber optic spark plug, which enabled measurement of the flame front arrival times on a cycle-to-cycle basis. The data obtained with this fiber optic spark plug were analyzed to obtain two parameters to describe the behavior of the flame kernel : an expansion speed and a convection velocity. In addition, synchronized cylinder pressure data were taken to compare with the fiber optic spark plug data on a cyclic basis. Heat release analysis was performed on the cylinder pressure data to obtain the mass burning profile of the charge for each cycle. There was a significant correlation observed in the initial flame duration and the kernel expansion speed with dwell angle.

본 논문에서는 ESPRIT(estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques)알고리듬 기반 재구성 가능한 각도 추정기를 제안 및 설계하였다. ESPRIT은 배열 안테나(uniform linear array)의 천이불변(shift invariance) 성질을 이용해 배열 안테나에 도래하는 신호의 도래각을 추정하는 알고리듬이다. 하지만 여전히 ESPRIT 알고리즘은 공분산 행렬, 고윳값 분해 등 높은 복잡도를 가지는 연산을 필요로 하므로 실시간 도래각 추정을 위해 하드웨어 프로세서로 구현이 필요하다. ESPRIT에서 성능은 안테나 개수와 관련이 있으며, 응용에 따라 요구되는 안테나 수는 상이할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 응용되는 분야에 따라 성능을 높이고 연산 복잡도 문제를 시킬 수 있도록 2 ~ 8개의 가변 안테나 개수를 지원하는 ESPRIT 프로세서를 제안하였다. 또한, 제안된 ESPRIT 프로세서는 MI-ESPRIT 구조를 기반으로 배열 안테나의 다중 불변성을 활용하여 성능을 향상시켰으며, 최소자승법 알고리즘을 간소화 시켜 복잡도를 감소시켰다.
