A Fast and Automatically Paired 2-Dimensional Direction-of-Arrival Estimation Using Arbitrary Array Geometry

2009-04-11
A new approach is proposed for two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation with arbitrary array geometries, which is based on array interpolation. The method provides automatically paired source azimuth and elevation angle estimates. Furthermore it is possible to estimate D sources with D + 1 sensor 2-D array interpolation errors are minimized by using Wiener formulation. Proposed method is applied to the two planar arrays; uniform circular array (UCA) and uniform isotropic (IU) V-shaped array. It seen that the method can find closed form, automatically paired azimuth and elevation angles. Simulation results are presented verifying the efficacy of the method.

A 2-D unsteady Navier-Stokes solution method with overlapping/overset moving grids
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (1996-01-01)
A simple, robust numerical algorithm to localize intergrid boundary points and to interpolate unsteady solution variables across 2-D, overset/overlapping, structured computational grids is presented. Overset/ overlapping grids are allowed to move in time relative to each other. The intergrid boundary points are localized in terms of three grid points on the donor grid by a directional search algorithm. The final parameters of the search algorithm give the interpolation weights at the interpolation point. Th...

A fast and automatically paired 2-D direction-of-arrival estimation with and without estimating the mutual coupling coefficients
Filik, Tansu; Tuncer, Temel Engin (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2010-06-26)
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 ...
Direction of arrival estimation for nonuniform linear arrays by using array interpolation
Tuncer, Temel Engin; Friedlander, B. (2007-07-03)
[1] A new approach is proposed for DOA estimation in nonuniform linear arrays (NLA) based on array interpolation. A Wiener formulation is presented to improve the condition number of the mapping matrix as well as the performance for noisy observations. Noniterative and iterative methods for DOA estimation are proposed. These methods use an initial DOA which is then significantly improved by the subsequent processing. Partially augmentable nonredundant arrays (PANA) and partly filled NLA (PFNLA) are consider...
A Hybrid Nonlinear Method for Array Thinning
Epcacan, Erdal; Çiloğlu, Tolga (2018-05-01)
A nonlinear method for array thinning is proposed. The method is based on hybrid usage of genetic algorithm (GA) and nonlinear apodization. The method proposes a special layout, which consists of two subarrays. Layout and weights for the subarray having larger aperture are designed by GA. Layout and weights for the second subarray are determined according to results of the aforementioned design. Dual apodization is applied to the outputs of the subarrays to obtain the output. Results show that there is an i...
