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 near-field signal components to estimate the near-field multipath signals. The proposed method uses uniform circular array in order to give 2D DOA estimation for far-field signal and virtual uniform linear array structure is used in order to estimate locations of the near-field multipaths. The proposed method is evaluated using both ideal and close-to-real world data sets. It is shown that far and near-field source parameters are effectively estimated.

Angle and Position Estimation for Far-Field and Near-Field Multipath Signals Elbir, Ahmet M.; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2014-04-25) In practical applications, multipath is the dominant error source for parameter estimation. In this paper, a far-field source and its near-field multipaths are considered. Far-field source azimuth and elevation angles are estimated using multipath calibration. A near-to-far field transformation is proposed for near-field source localization where azimuth and range parameters are estimated. Proposed method is evaluated using close-to-real world data generated by a commercial numerical electromagnetic tool. I...
Sparse Signal Recovery for Localization of Coherent Far- and Near-Field Signals Elbir, Ahmet M.; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-05-19) In direction finding (DF) and localization applications, coherency among the signals is an important source of error for parameter estimation. In this paper, a method is proposed to solve the DF problem where there are coherently mixed arbitrary number of far-and near-field sources. In order to estimate the direction-of-arrival (DOA) and the range parameters, compressed sensing (CS) approach is presented where a dictionary matrix is constructed with far-and near-field steering vectors. A sparse vector inclu...
Far-field DOA estimation and near-field localization for multipath signals Elbir, Ahmet M.; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2014-09-01) In direction finding and localization applications, multipath signals are important sources of error for parameter estimation. When the antenna array receives multipath reflections which are coherent with the far-field line-of-sight signal, estimating the far-and near-field components becomes an important problem. In this paper, a new method is proposed to estimate the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of the far-field source and to localize its near-field multipaths. Far-field source DOA is estimated using calibr...

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...
