This paper introduces the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) method that utilizes the transfer characteristics of microphones located at the same place, namely aggregated microphones. The conventional microphone array realizes a sound localization system according to the differences in the arrival time, phase shift, and the level of the sound wave among each microphone. Therefore, it is difficult to miniaturize the microphone array. The objective of our research is to build a reliable miniaturized sound localization system using aggregated microphones. In this paper, we describe a sound system with N microphones. We then show that the microphone array system and the proposed aggregated microphone system can be described in the same framework. We apply the multiple signal classification to the method that utilizes the transfer characteristics of the microphones placed at a same location and compare the proposed method with the microphone array. In the proposed method, all microphones are placed at the same place. Hence, it is easy to miniaturize the system. This feature is considered to be useful for practical applications. The experimental results obtained in an ordinary room are shown to verify the validity of the measurement.

multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm has been widely used to obtain high-resolution frequency estimation for an accurate identification of frequency components in low signal-to-noise ratios. One of the main drawbacks associated with the use of the MUSIC algorithm is that its performance is fully deteriorated when a wrong frequency signal dimension order is chosen, producing that some spurious frequencies could appear or some signal frequencies could be missing. In this paper, it is proposed a multi-objective optimization method to address the frequency signal dimension order problem. The proposed approach is based on a novel feature extraction of frequency components, which allows determining an adequate frequency signal dimension order. The methodology has been integrated as part of the MUSIC algorithm, and it can find the optimal order within a predefined frequency bandwidth, where the user is interested to find a frequency component. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, experimental results from several current signals obtained in the detection of broken rotor bar fault in induction motors have been tested.

In this work, a multiple-target tracking problem for a Wi-Fi through wall system is formulated and a new Direction Of Arrival (DOA) angle estimation technique is investigated to solve the tracking problem in the presence of clutter. The DOA estimation from objects behind walls is investigated utilizing the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm compensated by Extended Kalman Particle Filtering (EKPF) technique for the first time. Simulation results show that the stand-alone MUSIC algorithm fails to identify two distinct objects having close DOAs and fails to track targets when they are moving close to each other. The results also reveal that the EKPF algorithm in conjunction with MIMO nulling technique correctly identifies close and overshadowed moving objects and improves the tracking success rate.

Underwater acoustic source localization is important during disaster-rescue missions ranging from rescuing survivors to recovering acoustically-tagged artifacts such as black box. Designing acoustic localization capabilities reliably and efficiently is challenging. Underwater acoustic localization module (UALM) utilizing multiple signal classification (MUSIC) is implemented on an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). A state-machine based application program interface (API) is utilized on the AUV operating on robot operating system (ROS). An array of four pre-calibrated hydrophones is utilized for geometry-dependent MUSIC computation. A modular localization approach improved UALM's responsiveness.

Blade tip timing (BTT) is an effective noncontact measurement technology for rotating blade health monitoring. However, due to the mismatching between the high-speed rotation and the limited amount of probes, the signal collected from the BTT system is severely undersampled, which induces the difficulty in feature extraction. multiple signal classification (MUSIC) has the potential to overcome the undersampled problem once the probes are properly placed. Whereas, if traditional MUSIC is directly used in BTT, the accuracy of frequency identification cannot be high enough and the identified number of frequency components is also severely restrained. To address these two problems, an improved MUSIC is proposed as an alternative methodology to extract the blade vibration frequency for BTT. Based on the orthogonality of the signal subspace and the noise subspace from undersampled signal, the presented method can effectively identify the vibration frequency components from the undersampled signal of BTT.

The growing use of composite materials on aircraft structures has attracted much attention for the impact monitoring as a kind of structural health monitoring method. Uniform linear sensor array (ULSA)-based multiple signal classification (MUSIC) technology is a promising method because of its directional scanning ability and easy arrangement of the sensor array. However, the monitoring range of ULSA-based MUSIC method is 0 degrees-180 degrees, and its beamforming properties degrade at angles close to 0 degrees and 180 degrees. Besides, the ULSA-based MUSIC methods proposed require the knowledge of the direction dependent velocity profile obtained by additional experiments. This article presents a novel two-dimensional (2-D) plum-blossom sensor array (PBSA)-based MUSIC method. First, the velocity propagating at the specific direction is estimated by impact signal itself using PBSA directly. Second, 2-D PBSA-based MUSIC method well realizes omnidirectional 0 degrees-360 degrees impact localization of composite structures. Experimental results show its successful performance on epoxy laminate plate and complex composite structure.

With the increase in aging aircrafts, corrosion monitoring has attracted much attention in the structural health monitoring area. multiple signal classification has been gradually applied to structural health monitoring area as a new promising method because of its ability of directional scanning and the potential to monitor multiplesignal sources. However, applying multiple signal classification algorithm to monitor real damage still faces some challenges. First, the scattered Lamb waves obtained using a single actuator is relatively weak, making the signal-to-noise ratio of the scattered signals low and resulting in the low precision of multiple signal classification-based monitoring. Second, linear sensor array-based structural health monitoring methods have the problem of blind area at the angles close to 0 degrees and 180 degrees. To meet these challenges and target at providing monitoring ability of both the position and severity of the damage, a novel transmitter beamforming and weighted image fusion-based multiple signal classification algorithm is proposed using a dual array that consists of two linear sensor arrays to enhance the amplitude of scattered Lamb waves from corrosion, improve its signal-to-noise ratio and eliminate the blind area. The corrosion severity can be evaluated by analyzing the largest eigenvalue of signal covariance matrix developed using the multiple signal classification algorithm. The proposed transmitter beamforming and weighted image fusion-based multiple signal classification algorithm is verified on aluminum plates with real corrosion damages at five stages. Experimental results show that the proposed method can realize corrosion monitoring with a good precision even at the blind monitoring area.

Spherical antenna array (SAA) is a configuration that scans almost all the radiation sphere with constant directivity. It finds applications in spacecraft and satellite communication. multiple signal classification (MUSIC) is a widely used multiple source direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation method because of its low complexity implementation in practical applications. Conversely, it is susceptible to noise, which consequently affects its accuracy of localization. In this paper, MUSIC-based methods that operate at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are developed via relative electromagnetic (EM) wave pressure measurements of a SAA. The proposed methods are the relative pressure MUSIC (RP-MUSIC), and in spherical domain (SH-RP-MUSIC). The developed SH-RP-MUSIC algorithm is in spherical domain thereby allows frequency-smoothing approach for the de-correlation of the coherent source signals towards an enhanced accuracy of localization. Both RP-MUSIC and SH-RP-MUSIC algorithms developed have the ability to estimate the number of active sources that is a priori knowledge of the conventional MUSIC algorithm. Numerical experiments were used to demonstrate the adequacy of the developed algorithms. In addition, measured data from experiment, which is the practically acceptable way to examine any procedure is employed to demonstrate the merits of the developed algorithms against the conventional MUSIC algorithm and other recent multiple source localization method in literature. Finally, in order to achieve DoA estimations with adequate localization accuracy at low SNR using SAA, SH-RP-MUSIC algorithm is a better choice.

Two examples demonstrating the practical utility of multiple signal classification (MUSIC) in the imaging of small objects using inverse scattering formulations are presented in this article. For the first application (of interest to construction engineers), the task is to detect the presence of steel bars and empty ducts embedded within reinforced concrete;the results demonstrate that reinforcement bars of various sizes and empty ducts can be readily detected using MUSIC even in the presence of significant measurement noise. For the second application (of interest to oncologists treating breast cancer), the ultra-wideband variation of MUSIC has been developed for the noninvasive imaging of malignant tissues that are very small in size;the results indicate that it may assist in the early detection of very small malignant tumors even in the midst of fatty tissues.
