Direction of Arrival Estimation Accuracy Enhancement via Using Displacement Invariance Technique

الملخص EN

A new algorithm for improving Direction of Arrival Estimation (DOAE) accuracy has been carried out.

Two contributions are introduced.

First, Doppler frequency shift that resulted from the target movement is estimated using the displacement invariance technique (DIT).

Second, the effect of Doppler frequency is modeled and incorporated into ESPRIT algorithm in order to increase the estimation accuracy.

It is worth mentioning that the subspace approach has been employed into ESPRIT and DIT methods to reduce the computational complexity and the model’s nonlinearity effect.

The DOAE accuracy has been verified by closed-form Cramér-Rao bound (CRB).

The simulation results of the proposed algorithm are better than those of the previous estimation techniques leading to the estimator performance enhancement.
