Results in distributed compressed sensing show that this technique can be applied to wireless sensor networks in order to reduce the power consumption and the amount of channel uses. In this paper we extend such results with the study of the physical layer secrecy performance. In particular, we focus on an amplify-and-forward compressed sensing scheme (AF-CS) for the case when malicious eavesdropping nodes are listening. We demonstrate that this scheme achieves perfect secrecy in presence of one eavesdropper (and also for a small number of them). We also show that a very high number of eavesdropping nodes are required to perfectly recover the signal in comparison to other distributed compressed sensing schemes in the literature.

The wide-sense stationary assumption has been frequently employed in arrayprocessing, since it results in uncorrelated frequency bins and consequently major simplifications arise. However, unlike stationary signals, significant interfrequency correlations are observable in nonstationary signals like speech. Here, we drop the stationarity assumption and will show that taking interfrequency correlations into account leads to higher noise reduction. We develop a framework to design nonstationary beamformers similar to the stationary Frost beamformers. Based on the noise model, it can be used to design both fixed and adaptive beamformers. The nonstationary beamformer derived here is a set of time-varying filters and hence can be seen as a set of time-frequency or wavelet transform filters.

Conventional subspace based direction finding approaches such as MUSIC and ESPRIT algorithms commonly use the array data covariance matrix. In non stationary context, the use of the Spatial Time-Frequency Distribution (STFD) instead of the covariance matrix can significantly improve the performance of such algorithms. In this paper we are interested in the performance analysis of such approaches in the presence of both additive noise and perturbed array manifold. An unified expression of the Direction Of Arrival (DOA) error estimation is derived for both approaches. The obtained results show that for low signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and high signal to sensor Perturbation Ratio (SPR) the STFD based DOA estimations perform better, while for high SNR and for the same SPR both Covariance and STFD based approaches have similar performance.

A novel adaptive beamforming method is proposed without the knowledge of the direction of arrival of the signal of interest. It is a combination of the traditional beamspace processing method and a recently proposed technique called "Domain Weighted Principal Component Analysis (DW-PCA)" and can be applied to the case where the signal of interest is stronger than the interfering signals in both single-path and multi-path environments. Its effectiveness is verified by simulation results.

The ambiguity problem in direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation using a sensorarray, manifests itself as spurious peaks in the DOA spectrum, making the true targets indistinguishable from the false alarms. A criterion that determines the presence of certain ambiguities inherent to a symmetric linear array was proposed in the literature. The criterion is a useful tool to design reliable sensorarrays. In this paper, a generalization of this ambiguity criterion is presented. The new ambiguity criterion encompasses more ambiguous DOAs and therefore gives a more accurate measurement of the reliability of an array design.
In arrayprocessing, lower bounds are used as a benchmark to evaluate the ultimate performance of estimators. Among these bounds, the Weiss-Weinstein bound (WWB) is known as the tightest bound of Weiss-Weinstein famil...

The sensor-Angle Distribution (SAD) is a recently introduced tool representing the power arriving at each sensor as a function of angle (or spatial frequency). It can be used to characterize near-field scatter environments. The SAD, as originally introduced, undersampled the spatial correlation of the received signal (measured at each sensor) causing the SAD to be aliased for common source location cases. In this paper we indicate how this may be overcome. Additional results are provided showing that the SAD may be implemented as a multiple weighted subarray beamformer.

Sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) has been used to obtain source direction-of-arrivals (DoAs) from uniform linear array (ULA) data. The maximum number of sources that can be resolved using a ULA is limited by the number of sensors in the array. It is known that sparse linear arrays such as co-prime and nested arrays can resolve more sources than the number of sensors. In this paper we demonstrate this using SBL. We compute the mean squared error in source power estimation as various parameters are varied.

In the existing works on FDA beam-patterns produced by the traditional FDA are time variant, and this causes difficulties in target detecting and beam-pattern steering. For solving the problem, several time-dependent frequency offsets based time-invariant FDA beam-pattern design methods have been proposed, which, however, neglected the time-range relationship and led to erroneous conclusions. In this note, considering the practical constraint and the relationship between time and range, it is concluded that FDA beam-patterns are always time-variant and it is unable to form time-invariant beam-patterns.

The Steered Response Power with phase transform (SRP-PHAT) is one of the most employed techniques for Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation with microphone arrays due its robustness against acoustical conditions as reverberation or noise. Among its main drawbacks is the growth of its computational complexity when the search space increases. To solve this issue, we propose the use of Neural Networks (NN) to obtain the DOA as a regression problem from a low resolution SRP-PHAT power map. The NNs can learn and exploit the information of the acoustic reflections of the room where the array is located with a training method that can be easily performed by an end user without technical knowledge.
