We present a subspace-based direction-finding method for coherent signal environments using an antenna array. Our method, which uses fourth-order statistics, is capable of resolving more signals than a comparable second-order statistics-based subspace method and is applicable to a larger class of arrays. The maximum number of signals resolvable with our method may exceed the number of sensors in the array, Only a uniform linear subarray is needed;the rest of the array may have arbitrary and unknown response and does not require calibration, On the other hand, the comparable second-order statistics-based method is limited to uniform linear arrays only, No search procedure is needed in our method. Simulation experiments supporting our conclusions are provided.

The information capacity of wireless communication systems may be increased dramatically by employing multiple transmit and receive antennas. The goal of system design is to exploit this capacity in a practical way, An effective approach to increasing data rate over wireless channels is to employ space-time coding techniques appropriate to multiple transmit antennas. These space-time codes introduce temporal and spatial correlation into signals transmitted from different antennas, so as to provide diversity at the receiver, and coding gain over an uncoded system. For large number of transmit antennas and at high bandwidth efficiencies, the receiver may become too complex whenever correlation across transmit antennas is introduced. This paper dramatically reduces encoding and decoding complexity by partitioning antennas at the transmitter into small groups, and using individual space-time codes, called the component codes, to transmit information from each group of antennas. At the receiver, an individual space-time code is decoded by a novel linear processing technique that suppresses signals transmitted by other groups of antennas by treating them as interference. A simple receiver structure is derived that provides diversity and coding gain over uncoded systems. This combination of array processing at the receiver and coding techniques for multiple transmit antennas can provide reliable and very high data rate communication over narrowband wireless channels. A refinement of this basic structure gives rise to a multilayered space-time architecture that both generalizes and improves upon the layered space-time architecture proposed by Foschini.

This paper attempts to provide a state-of-the-art of sound source localization in robotics. Noticeably, this context raises original constraints-e.g. embeddability, real time, broadband environments, noise and reverberation-which are seldom simultaneously taken into account in acoustics or signal processing. A comprehensive review is proposed of recent robotics achievements, be they binaural or rooted in array processing techniques. The connections are highlighted with the underlying theory as well as with elements of physiology and neurology of human hearing. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper presents a novel SParse Iterative Covariance-based Estimation approach, abbreviated as SPICE, to array processing. The proposed approach is obtained by the minimization of a covariance matrix fitting criterion and is particularly useful in many-snapshot cases but can be used even in single-snapshot situations. SPICE has several unique features not shared by other sparse estimation methods: it has a simple and sound statistical foundation, it takes account of the noise in the data in a natural manner, it does not require the user to make any difficult selection of hyperparameters, and yet it has global convergence properties.

The problem of passive geographical localization is commonly solved by independently measuring intermediate parameters such as angles of arrival (AOA), times of arrival (TOA) or frequencies of arrival (FOA) on different separated multiple-sensors base stations on a first step. These intermediate parameters are then used to estimate the emitter's coordinates on a second step. Such approach is suboptimal. This is why, recently, under line-of-sight conditions, some approaches (sometimes called one-step procedures) exploiting directly all signals collected on all base stations were investigated. Based on a space time observation vector we investigate here a new one-step localization technique called LOST that is spectrum adaptive contrary to the existing one-step approach. Simulations shows that the proposed technique outperforms existing techniques and lies close to the corresponding Cramer-Rao bound.

An analysis of seismic coda phases recorded by five small aperture arrays in Kazakhstan and Russia is performed. The characteristics of the coda phases are obtained using array processing providing estimates of direction of propagation, frequency content, and apparent propagation velocity of coherent arrivals propagating through the arrays. A statistical analysis, using the coda characteristics of the whole dataset (far-regional earthquakes) recorded by the arrays, is performed leading to a time-azimuth distribution of the detected waves. Long Lg-coda wavetrains clearly dominate the far-regional seismic records. The later part of an Lg-coda wavefield is generally expected to consist of omnidirectional and multiple scattered waves;still, in the present study, preferential propagation directions of scattered waves are identified in seismic signals, even for a lapse time larger than 1200 s. The comparison of the Lg-coda characteristics for two different groups of earthquakes and for the different arrays shows that the geometrical configuration of the event array strongly influences the back-azimuthal distribution of detected waves. More precisely, temporal variations of the Lg-coda characteristics are identified: (1) as a transitory regime in the early part of the coda where arrival directions deviate from the epicenter back azimuth (eastward or westward);(2) as a final regime where the later part of the Lg coda observed by the two northern arrays exhibits incoherent phases with random propagation directions;and (3) as a final regime for the three southern arrays, which reveals coherent arrivals propagating from array-specific back azimuths not related to the epicenter back azimuth.

The mix of body waves and surface waves is a recurrent problem for deep exploration in geophysical contexts. As surface waves represent up to 70% of the recorded energy, they hide a large part of the information coming from the sub-surface through body waves. Efforts have been made in the past to better filter or remove surface waves: however, their impact is always far from negligible, especially with strong backscattering contributions. In parallel, taking advantage of an always growing number of channels, geophysical explorations face new opportunities to enhance the quality of Earth imaging. For example, better spatial sampling is a way to better use or remove surface waves. There are compromises to find between higher spatial sampling and operational costs, even for on-field tests. In this context, surface-wave studies at the laboratory scale are a flexible way to evaluate new acquisition designs and processing. This study shows how a gel-based phantom can be used successfully to study elastic-wave mixing in the context of geophysics prospection. Small-scale experiments provide the records of thousands of traces. Using projections in the slowness/angle domain, wave separation and identification algorithms are proposed, with the goal of being able to adapt array processing to geophysical-like designs.

We investigate the problem of enumerating source signals impinging on an array of sensors in an information theoretic framework. The conventional Bayesian information criterion (BIC) does not yield satisfactory performance for this problem because it only considers the density of the observations. In order to remedy the limitations of the BIC, we propose a generalized Bayesian information criterion (GBIC) rule by incorporating the density of the sample eigenvalues or corresponding statistics. Such a density contains extra information and complements the density of the observations in constructing the GBIC. As a result, two different expressions for the GBIC are suggested. Simulation results validate the superiority of the proposed GBIC over the conventional BIC in terms of correctly determining the number of sources while their computational costs are comparable.
