Coherent wideband DOA estimation for non-uniform linear arrays (NLA) is considered. array interpolation is used for two mappings. In the first mapping, NLA is mapped to a uniform linear array with the samearray aperture. In the second mapping covariance matrices for each frequency bin are mapped to a single one at the center frequency for coherent DOA estimation. A Wiener formulation is used for array interpolation where both signal and noise powers are estimated with maximum likelihood method. Different approaches are compared and the advantages of wideband processing versus narrowband processing are outlined. The accuracy of the SNR estimation is high and it is shown that Wiener array interpolation significantly improves the DOA estimation performance in both narrowband and wideband processing.

In this study, isotropic V-shaped uniform and nonuniform arrays are considered. An isotropic array has the same value for the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) for all direction of arrival (DOA) angles. The conditions for isotropic V-shaped arrays are presented and closed form expressions for V-shaped uniform and nonuniform arrays are found. These expressions return the V-angle for the array. Therefore, given the number of sensors and sensor displacements, isotropic performance V-angle can be found easily. V-shaped arrays are compared with circular arrays and it is also shown that both uniform and nonuniform V-shaped arrays have certain advantages.

We present the asymptotic performance analysis of the interpolated root-MUSIC and manifold separation (MS) techniques for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in arbitrary non-uniform sensorarrays. Our analysis takes into account both the effects of a limited number of snapshots and manifold approximation errors.

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 design of frequency invariant beamformers for traditional tapped delay-line array system can be formulated as a convex optimization problem and solved efficiently using the interior-point methods. This approach is extended to the recently proposed broadband beamforming system with sensor delay-lines and some variations are proposed to cope with the specific requirements in the design. Design examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The interplay between signalprocessing and wireless networking plays a crucial role in sensor networks deployed for detection and estimation applications. In this paper, an opportunistic power assignment strategy for IR-UWB sensor networks is presented which is designed to optimize detection performance in terms of the global probability of error. The opportunistic power assignment strategy utilizes both the detection error probabilities of individual sensors as well as network topology information, leading to significant performance gains compared to uniform power assignment.

This paper is concerned with the problem of antenna array calibration in a non-stationary signal environment. In detail, this study focuses on calibration of the antenna array geometry by employing properties of the differential geometry of the array manifold vector. The proposed algorithm is totally blind, since the only available information to the array system is the received signal emitted by a moving source of unknown characteristics. The only assumption made is that the movement of the source has an angular component and that the position of one sensor with regards to the reference point is known. It is shown through Monte Carlo simulations that this method significantly improves the ability of the array system to estimate characteristics of the moving source, such as its direction of arrival (DOA), in addition to reducing the positioning errors of the array elements.

The paper introduces and provides a simple proof of an interesting matrix inversion identity involving subspaces. Using this identity, new insights and interpretations are provided about beam space-based adaptive beamformers and the generalized sidelobe canceller. In addition, system performance measures and losses in terms of the achievable SINR and deflection coefficient can be interpreted and predicted in beam space using the framework of subspaces.
