Unitary Transformed DOA Estimation Algorithm Based on Modified Propagator Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The modified propagator method(MPM) improves the performances of DOA estimation, but compared with the propagator method (PM), the computational loads increase, especially under large number of antenna array elements condition. This paper studies the principle of using unitary transform to rearrange the propagator, and proposes unitary transformed MPM(UMPM) in order to decrease the computational loads by real-valued computation. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve superior precision and lower computational loads than PM, MUSIC and MPM.
