Pairing problem for the azimuth and elevation angles of multiple sources is an important problem in two dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. In this paper, a new technique is proposed for fast and automatically paired 2-D DOA estimation. This technique uses the magnitude and phase of the eigenvalues of the rotational transformation matrix of the ESPRIT algorithm. A special array geometry is chosen in order to take advantage of the ESPRIT method. The proposed technique is used in two different ways. In one case, array geometry is selected as two parallel uniform linear arrays (PULA). In the second approach, a virtual PULA is generated by using array interpolation. These two cases are compared in terms of the 2-D DOA estimation. While the PULA composed of the physical elements is a robust structure, virtual PULA has the advantage of decreasing the number of antennas and the following hardware. Several experiments are done and it is shown that both of the cases solve the pairing problem in 2-D DOA estimation effectively.

2-D DOA estimation in case of unknown mutual coupling for multipath signals Filik, Tansu; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-01-01) In this paper, two dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation problem in case of unknown mutual coupling and multipath signals is investigated for antenna arrays. A new technique is proposed which uses a special array structure consisting of parallel uniform linear array (PULA). PULA structure is complemented with auxiliary antennas in order to have a structured mutual coupling matrix (MCM). MCM has a symmetric banded Toeplitz structure which allows the application of the ESPRIT algorithm for 2...
Design and evaluation of V-shaped arrays for 2-D DOA estimation Filik, Tansu; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2008-04-04) A new method for optimum design of V-shaped arrays is presented for azimuth and elevation angle estimation simultaneously. The design criterion is based on the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) for joint estimation where the coupling effect between the azimuth and elevation direction of arrival (DOA) angles is taken into account. The design method finds an optimum angle between the linear sub-arrays of the V-array. The computation of the optimum angle is simple due to the monotonic characteristics of the best and wors...
Partly-filled nonuniform linear arrays for DOA estimation in multipath signals Tuncer, Temel Engin; Friedlander, Benjamin (2007-04-20) Partly-filled nonuniform linear arrays (PFNLA) are presented and DOA estimation problem for multipath signals is investigated. A new approach is proposed for DOA estimation in nonuniform linear arrays (NLA) based on array interpolation. A Wiener formulation is used to improve the condition number of the mapping matrix as well as the performance for noisy observations. An initial DOA estimate is obtained by using the uniform part of the PFNLA. This initial estimate is used in array interpolation and a new co...
Uniform and Non-Uniform V-shaped Arrays for 2-D DOA Estimation Filik, Tansu; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Yasar, T. Kaya (2008-04-22) In this study, a new method for optimum design of uniform and non-uniform V-shaped arrays is presented for azimuth and elevation angle estimation. The proposed design method finds an optimum angle between the linear sub-arrays of the V-array by using the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) where statistical coupling effect between azimuth and elevation angle estimation is considered This method can be used to obtain directional and isotropic angle performances for uniform and non-uniform V-arrays. For non-uniform isotro...
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...
