Algorithm of Direction of Arrival Estimation Based on Virtual Translation in Two Vertical Directions
A new algorithm aiming at improving the estimation accuracy of direction of arrival (DOA) based on uniform circular array (UCA) has been proposed in this paper. Compared with other algorithms
the new proposed one can make the most of the useful information hiding in the received signal by shifting virtually in two vertical direction. Firstly
it shifts the mathematical mode of array received signals at the
z
axis and
x
axis respectively with the method of mode excitation. And then
two new full rank Toeplitz matrices relating to the information of DOA estimation have been reconstructed so the purpose of decorrelation has been achieved. Through the different properties of rotation factor at
z
axis and
x
axis successively
the researchers obt
ain the estimation of pitch angle and then the estimation of azimuth angle. Result analysis of simulation shows the validity of the DOA estimation of coherent signal as well as the strong coherence and low SNR incoming signals.
