Cross dipole antennas solution for angle of arrival estimation

الملخص EN

The Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm is the most popular algorithm to estimate the Angle of Arrival (AOA) of the received signals.

The analysis of this algorithm (MUSIC) with typical array antenna element shows that there are two false direction indication in the plan aligned with the axis of the array.

In this paper a suggested modification on array system is proposed by using two perpendiculars crossed dipole array antenna in spite of one array antenna.

The suggested modification does not affect the AOA estimation algorithm.

The simulation and results shows that the proposed solution overcomes the MUSIC problem without any effect on the performance of the system.
