The computational complexity for direction-of-arrival estimation using sensor arrays increases very rapidly with the number of sensors in the array. One way to lower the amount of computations is to employ some kind of reduction of the data dimension. This is usually accomplished by employing linear transformations for mapping full-dimension data into a lower-dimensional space. In the present work, a transformation matrix is derived, that makes it possible to attain the full-dimension Cramer-Rao bound also in the reduced space. A bound on the dimension of the reduced data set is given, above which it is always possible to obtain the same accuracy for the lower-dimension estimates of the source localizations as that achievable by using the full-dimension data. Furthermore, a method is devised for designing the transformation matrix.< >

The design of passive coherent location radar, which exploits broadcasting transmitters of opportunity in the very high frequency (VHF) radio bandwidth, is presented. Here, the authors primarily focus on the system set-up and on the digital pre-processing steps. Emphasis is given to the antenna section analysis. The eight-element circular array, which is used for the signal acquisition, is analysed by means of simulations and measurements. Compensation for the mutual coupling effect between the different channels is achieved by applying a technique in the digital domain. An innovative digital beamforming algorithm is introduced to reduce the sidelobe level of the circular array pattern. Direct path interference suppression, range/Doppler data processing, greatest-of constant false alarm rate algorithm and range/Doppler-time plots extraction provide the final output of the processing chain. Experimental validation of the processing architecture is presented and the final detection results are compared with an automatic dependent surveillance broadcast data set.

The paper describes and analyses, in a unifying manner, the spatial and temporal IV-SSF (instrumental variable-signal subspace fitting) approaches recently proposed for array signal processing in colored noise fields. We derive a general, optimally-weighted, IV-SSF direction estimator and show that this estimator encompasses the UNCLE estimator of Wong and Wu (see IEEE ***, vol.42, Sept. 1994), which is a spatial IV-SSF method; and the temporal IV-SSF estimator of Viberg, Stoica and Ottersten (see IEEE ***, May 1995). The latter two estimators have seemingly different forms, so their asymptotic equivalence shown in this paper comes as a surprising unifying result.

This paper proposes a novel wideband structure for array signal processing. The method lends itself well to a Bayesian approach for jointly estimating the model order (number of sources) and the DOA through a reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedure. The source amplitudes are estimated through a maximum a posteriori (MAP) procedure. Advantages of the proposed method include joint detection of model order and estimation of the DOA parameters, and the fact that meaningful results can be obtained using fewer observations than previous methods. The DOA estimation performance of the proposed method is compared with the theoretical Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for this problem. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the method.

A simple signalprocessing method has been proposed for ultrasonic position measurement using resonant microsensors. Micro-fabricated sensors have a high quality factor of mechanical resonance and the high Q-value realizes a high sensitivity, but also causes a long tail of dumping oscillation in a response waveform against a ultrasound pulse. The proposed method reveals pulse arrival points in superposed dumping oscillations by eliminating the long tail. This method has been applied to micro-fabricated resonant sensors with high Q-value and a precise position measurement result is demonstrated.

Blind source separation is now a well known problem. Various methods have been proposed for instantaneous and convolutive mixtures of sources. Conventional antenna arrayprocessing techniques are based on the use of second order statistics but rest on restrictive assumptions. Thus, when a priori informations about the propagation or the geometry of the array are not available, the model can be generalized to a blind sources separation model. It supposes the statistical independence of the sources and their non-gaussianity. In this paper, we focus on the narrow band source separation problem embedded in wide band jammers. We show that the JADE algorithm made for instantaneous mixture is still valid in a wide band context where only the signals of interest are narrow-band. We also prove that a wide band signal tends to occupy all the degrees of freedom of the covariance matrix and modifies the signal subspace dimension.

We propose a new algorithm for blind source separation (BSS), in which independent component analysis (ICA) and beamforming are combined to resolve the low-convergence problem through optimization in ICA. The proposed method consists of the following two parts: frequency-domain ICA with direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation, and null beamforming based on the estimated DOA. The alternation of learning between ICA and beamforming can realize fast- and high-convergence optimization. The results of the signal separation experiments reveal that the signal separation performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of the conventional ICA-based BSS method.
