Fourth-Order Cumulants Beamforming for Direction of Arrival Estimation

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the rapid development of DOA (direction-of-arrival) estimation methods, the existing beamforming technologies still have the problem of a way to balance high spatial resolution and robust performance. The aperture extension characteristics of fourth-order cumulants is used to raise the spatial resolution of the array in this paper. By using the structure of minimum redundancy array, the calculation of the fourth-order cumulants matrix can be reduced. Simulations of the properties of fourth–order cumulants beamforming method are analyzed in this paper, including the resolution analysis, multi-sources analysis and error analysis. Simulation results show that the fourth-order cumulants beamforming method has a higher spatial resolution than the conventional beamforming method without increasing the number of the array sensors.
