Antenna array calibration is an important task. In this paper, an online calibration method is proposed for antenna arrays where the antennas have unknown gain/phase mismatch and mutual coupling. The mutual coupling matrix is unstructured and the array is randomly deployed on a plane. Two reference sensors are assumed to be perfectly calibrated. The proposed technique uses higher order statistics (HOS) and the reference sensors to estimate the direction-of-arrivals (DOA) of multiple signals. The gain/phase mismatch and mutual coupling parameters are also estimated with a direct approach. Several simulations are done to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Measurement reduction for mutual coupling calibration in DOA estimation Aksoy, Taylan; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2012-05-17) Mutual coupling is an important source of error in antenna arrays that should be compensated for super resolution direction-of-arrival (DOA) algorithms, such as Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. A crucial step in array calibration is the determination of the mutual coupling coefficients for the antenna array. In this paper, a system theoretic approach is presented for the mutual coupling characterization of antenna arrays. The comprehension and implementation of this approach is simple leadi...
Parallelization of noise subspace-based doa estimation algorithms on cpu and gpu Eray, Hamza; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2021-2-11) Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) estimation is known as an active research area, and it is studied under array signal processing. The algorithms in this area are widely used in various applications such as sonar, search-and-rescue, navigation, and geolocation. However, achieving a real-time system performance is sometimes a challenging task for these algorithms. In this thesis, four noise subspace-based DOA estimation algorithms (PHD, MUSIC, EV, and MN) were considered and implemented in MATLAB, C/C++, and CUDA. ...
Sectorized approach and measurement reduction for mutual coupling calibration of non-omnidirectional antenna arrays Aksoy, Taylan; Tuncer, Temel Engin (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2013-03-01) Mutual coupling calibration is an important problem for antenna arrays. There are different methods proposed for omnidirectional antennas in the literature. However, many practical antennas have non-omnidirectional (NOD) characteristics. Hence, the previous mutual coupling calibration methods cannot be applied directly since the mutual coupling matrix of an NOD antenna array has angular dependency. In this paper, a sectorized approach is proposed with a transformation matrix for mutual coupling calibration ...
DIRECTION FINDING AND LOCALIZATION FOR FAR-FIELD SOURCES WITH NEAR-FIELD MULTIPATH REFLECTIONS Elbir, Ahmet M.; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-08-12) Multipath signals are main source of error for parameter estimation in direction finding applications. In this paper, a new method is proposed for the estimation of direction-of-arrivals (DOA) of a far-field source and localization of its near-field multipath reflections in two steps. Firstly, far-field source DOA is estimated using a calibration technique. In the second step, a near-to-far field transformation is presented in order to eliminate the far-field components of the array data and obtain only nea...
Calibration Quality Analysis of Phased Array Antennas Kilic, Ozgehan; Yalim, Alper; Cetintepe, Cagri; Demir, Şimşek (2012-07-14) A phased array antenna (PAA) system can be calibrated by using several methods. In general, the aim of this calibration is to guarantee that the systematic errors are diminished. Still there can be residual errors due to the random errors in the system. These residual errors may decrease the correction accuracy of the calibration. This correction accuracy can be quantified as a quality factor. In this paper, quality of the Rotating Electric-Field Vector (REV) calibration method is examined with a statistica...
