Sensor layout of the octave array is designed to process a frequency range of several octaves. Array aperture of the highest octave band is limited to uniform line array (ULA) segment at the center. Forming a sparse array layout for the highest frequency band by using some of the remaining elements apart from ULA could bring some advantages such as higher array gain and better detection performance. Using a sparse array has a drawback of violating the spatial Nyquist limit, which may cause high sidelobes to appear in the beampattern. It is aimed to select an optimum layout with larger aperture length and higher gain without being affected by disadvantages of using sparse arrays. Performance of the selected layout depends on the used direction of arrival estimation (DOA) method. In this thesis, both conventional and coarray based DOA methods are reviewed firstly. Then, several optimization problems are stated for selecting a subarray layout. These problems use some array parameters such as peak-to-sidelobe level (PSL), Cramer-Rao bound, method of interval errors (MIE) and redundancy. Minimization of PSL is used to reduce the high sidelobe levels. To minimize DOA estimation error, CRB and MIE are used as cost functions. PSL constraint is added to minimization of CRB problem to prevent grating lobes in the array beampattern. Minimum redundancy array and robust minimum redundancy array are obtained by using redundancy and fragility in the optimization problems. Performances of proposed array layouts are compared with the existing solution using extensive computer simulations.

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...
Wideband doa estimation for nonuniform linear arrays with wiener array interpolation Yasar, T. Kaya; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2008-07-23) Coherent wideband DOA estimation for non-uniform linear arrays (NLA) is considered. Array interpolation is used for two mappings. In the first mapping, NLA is mapped to a uniform linear array with the same array aperture. In the second mapping covariance matrices for each frequency bin are mapped to a single one at the center frequency for coherent DOA estimation. A Wiener formulation is used for array interpolation where both signal and noise powers are estimated with maximum likelihood method. Different a...
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...
Data-driven Threshold Selection for Direct Path Dominance Test Olgun, Orhun; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2019-09-09) Direction-of-arrival estimation methods, when used with recordings made in enclosures are negatively affected by the reflections and reverberation in that enclosure. Direct path dominance (DPD) test was proposed as a pre-processing stage which can provide better DOA estimates by selecting only the time-frequency bins with a single dominant sound source component prior to DOA estimation, thereby reducing the total computational cost. DPD test involves selecting bins for which the ratio of the two largest sin...
SOUND SOURCE LOCALISATION PERFORMANCE OF OPEN SPHERICAL ACOUSTIC INTENSITY PROBES UNDER REVERBERANT CONDITIONS Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2014-04-25) Open-spherical acoustic intensity probes are microphone arrays based on the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral and are used in the measurement of active acoustic intensity. The acoustic intensity measurements obtained by these arrays can be used to localise sound sources. Previously, the performance of these arrays in acoustic free field conditions were obtained using numerical simulations and it was shown that they provide better performance than other types of probes. This paper discusses the implementation of ...
