A new technique is proposed for the solution of pairing problem which is observed when fast algorithms are used for two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. Proposed method is integrated with array interpolation for efficient use of antenna elements. Two virtual arrays are generated which are positioned accordingly with respect to the real array. ESPRIT algorithm is used by employing both the real and virtual arrays. The eigenvalues of the rotational transformation matrix have the angle information at both magnitude and phase which allows the estimation of azimuth and elevation angles by using closed-form expressions. This idea is used to obtain the paired interpolated ESPRIT algorithm which can be applied for arbitrary arrays when there is no mutual coupling. When there is mutual coupling, two approaches are proposed in order to obtain 2-D paired DOA estimates. These blind methods can be applied for the array geometries which have mutual coupling matrices with a Toeplitz structure. The first approach finds the 2-D paired DOA angles without estimating the mutual coupling coefficients. The second approach estimates the coupling coefficients and iteratively improves both the coupling coefficients and the DOA estimates. It is shown that the proposed techniques solve the pairing problem for uniform circular arrays and effectively estimate the DOA angles in case of unknown mutual coupling.

Uniform and nonuniform V-shaped planar arrays for 2-D direction-of-arrival estimation Filik, T.; Tuncer, Temel Engin (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2009-09-22) In this paper, isotropic and directional uniform and nonuniform V-shaped arrays are considered for azimuth and elevation direction-of-arrival (DOA) angle estimation simultaneously. It is shown that the uniform isotropic V-shaped arrays (UI V arrays) have no angle coupling between the azimuth and elevation DOA. The design of the UI V arrays is investigated, and closed form expressions are presented for the parameters of the UI V arrays and nonuniform V arrays. These expressions allow one to find the isotropi...
Improving the accuracy of the magnetic field integral equation with the linear-linear basis functions Ergül, Özgür Salih (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2006-07-18) [ 1] Basis functions with linear variations are investigated in terms of the accuracy of the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) and the combined-field integral equation (CFIE), on the basis of recent reports indicating the inaccuracy of the MFIE. Electromagnetic scattering problems involving conducting targets with arbitrary geometries, closed surfaces, and planar triangulations are considered. Specifically, two functions with linear variations along the triangulation edges in both tangential and norma...
A new neural network approach to the target tracking problem with smart structure Caylar, Selcuk; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Dural, Guelbin (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2006-10-03) [1] A modified neural network - based algorithm ( modified neural multiple-source tracking algorithm (MN-MUST)) is proposed for real-time multiple-source tracking problem. The proposed approach reduced the input size of the neural network without any degradation of the accuracy of the system for uncorrelated sources. In addition, a spatial filtering stage that considerably improves the performance of the system is proposed to be inserted. It is observed that the MN-MUST algorithm provides an accurate and ef...
Efficient parallelization of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm for the solution of large-scale scattering problems Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-08-01) We present fast and accurate solutions of large-scale scattering problems involving three-dimensional closed conductors with arbitrary shapes using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). With an efficient parallelization of MLFMA, scattering problems that are discretized with tens of millions of unknowns are easily solved on a cluster of computers. We extensively investigate the parallelization of MLFMA, identify the bottlenecks, and provide remedial procedures to improve the efficiency of the imp...
AN EXTENSION OF THE PHYSICAL THEORY OF DIFFRACTION CONCEPT FOR APERTURE RADIATION PROBLEMS ALTINTAS, A; BUYUKDURA, OM; PATHAK, PH (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1994-11-01) A correction to the Kirchhoff-Huygens approximation in the format of a diffraction coefficient is derived for an aperture terminated by a half plane. As in the physical theory of diffraction (PTD), this is achieved by considering the end point contribution to the aperture integral. It is seen that when the aperture is taken as conformal with the surface of the half plane, the conventional PTD result is obtained.
