Iterative HOS-SOS (IHOSS) Algorithm for Direction-of-Arrival Estimation and Sensor Localization

2010-12-01
Aktas, Metin
Tuncer, Temel Engin
A new method for joint direction-of-arrival (DOA) and sensor position estimation is introduced. The sensors are assumed to be randomly deployed except two reference sensors. The proposed method exploits the advantages of both higher-order-statistics (HOS) and second-order-statistics (SOS) with an iterative algorithm, namely Iterative Higher-Order Second-Order Statistics (IHOSS). A new cumulant matrix estimation technique is proposed for the HOS approach by converting the multisource problem into a single source one. IHOSS performs well even in case of correlated source signals due to the effectiveness of the proposed cumulant matrix estimate. A cost function is defined for the joint DOA and position estimation. The iterative procedure is guaranteed to converge. The ambiguity problem in sensor position estimation is solved by observing the source signals at least in two different frequencies. The conditions on these frequencies are presented. Closed-form expressions are derived for the deterministic Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) for DOA and unknown sensor positions for noncircular complex Gaussian noise with unknown covariance matrix. Simulation results show that the performance of IHOSS is significantly better than the HOS approaches for DOA estimation and closely follows the CRB for both DOA and sensor position estimations.

ITERATIVE HOS-SOS (IHOSS) BASED SENSOR LOCALIZATION AND DIRECTION-OF-ARRIVAL ESTIMATION
Aktas, Metin; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2010-03-19)
A new method for joint Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) and sensor position estimation is introduced. The proposed method exploits the advantages of both higher-order-statistics (HOS) and second-order-statistics (SOS) with an iterative algorithm. The ambiguity problem in sensor position estimation is solved by observing source signals at least in two different frequencies. These frequencies should satisfy a certain condition which is presented in the paper. A new cost function is defined for the DOA and position ...
A Compact Angular Rate Sensor System Using a Fully Decoupled Silicon-on-Glass MEMS Gyroscope
Alper, Said Emre; Temiz, Yuksel; Akın, Tayfun (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-12-01)
This paper presents the development of a compact single-axis angular rate sensor system employing a 100-mu m-thick single-crystal silicon microelectromechanical systems gyroscope with an improved decoupling arrangement between the drive and sense modes. The improved decoupling arrangement of the gyroscope enhances the robustness of sensing frame against drive-mode oscillations and therefore minimizes mechanical crosstalk between the drive and sense modes, yielding a small bias instability. The gyroscope cor...
Metamaterial absorber-based sensor embedded into X-band waveguide
SABAH, CUMALİ; TURKMEN-KUCUKSARİ, OZNUR; Sayan, Gönül (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2014-07-17)
A novel metamaterial sensor, integrated with an X-band waveguide, is proposed for high-resolution measurements of variations in the dielectric constant and/or the thickness of a superstrate layer that covers a pair of absorber unit cells. Variations in superstrate parameters are potentially caused by physical, chemical or biological factors, and can be detected by measuring the corresponding shifts in the resonance frequency of the metamaterial sensor. It is estimated by simulation results that resolution l...
Ultrathick and high-aspect-ratio nickel microgyroscope using EFAB multilayer additive electroforming
Alper, Said Emre; Ocak, Ilker Ender; Akın, Tayfun (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-10-01)
This paper presents a new approach for the development of a microgyroscope that has a 240-/mu m-thick multilayer electroformed-nickel structural mass and a lateral aspect ratio greater than 100. The gyroscope is fabricated using commercial multilayer additive electroforming process EFAB of Microfabrica, Inc., which allows defining the thickness of different structural regions, such as suspensions, proof mass, and capacitive electrodes, unlike many classical surface-micromachining technologies that require a...
Hybrid connection of RF MEMS and SMT components in an impedance tuner
Unlu, Mehmet; Topalli, Kagan; Atasoy, Halil Ibrahim; Demir, Şimşek; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Akın, Tayfun (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01)
This paper presents a systematic construction of a model for a hybrid connected RF MEMS and SMT components in a reconfigurable impedance tuner. The double stub hybrid impedance tuner which employs a high number of MEMS switches is selected to demonstrate the feasibility of the connections. In the hybrid tuner, MEMS switches are actuated with DC bias signals, where SMT resistors de-couple RF from the DC lines. The hybrid tuner is realized in two steps, where the MEMS impedance tuner is fabricated on a glass ...
