A general ESPRIT method for noncircularity-based incoherently distributed sources

IEEE SAM 2020: Special Sessions > Robust Super-Resolution DOA Estimation and Its Applications

In this paper, a reduced-rank direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm for incoherently distributed (ID) noncircular sources based on a uniform linear array (ULA) is proposed. First the noncircularity property of the signal is utilized to establish an extended generalized array manifold (GAM) model based on the first-order Taylor series approximation. Then, the central DOA of source signals is obtained based on the generalized shift invariance property of the array manifold and the reduced-rank principle. Compared with the algorithm without exploiting the noncircularity information, the proposed algorithm can achieve a higher accuracy and handle more sources. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.
