In array signal processing, we most commonly use the spatially white noise model, and most of the high resolution methods are established on such a noise model. However, in real environments, the noise model is often either unknown or undeterminable. This may cause the high resolution methods to suffer severe performance degradation. In this paper, under the assumption that noise correlation is spatially limited, using two separated arrays, we propose a new approach for consistent directions of arrival (DOA) estimations in unknown noise environments. This new method can be also applied in radar or sonar tracking and time series analysis. For a single array the new method is also applicable.

Modern direction finding(DF) methods usually use antenna arrays to receive information from an unknown radiation source, and further process the information in order to locate the transmission source. Small aperture array is easy to carry, install, deploy and operate because of small volume, light weight, and it is preferred to large aperture array, and is frequently used in many aspects such as the navigation of ships and aircrafts, locating interfering or illegal transmitters. But at the same time, small aperture array has poor performance in precision. This work demonstrates the signals received by small aperture array are processed coupled, and the differences between signals in amplitude and phase are amplified greatly,which makes it possible that small aperture array is able to have good performance.

In this paper, we study blind channel estimation in code division multiple access systems from array signal processing perspective. As there are three direction-of-arrival estimation methods in array signal processing, we formulate three corresponding blind channel estimation methods in a framework, although some of which have already been reported. From our analysis and simulations, the constrained and subspace methods for blind channel estimation outperforms the conventional method. The conventional method is computationally more efficient, and is suitable for the scenario where only few users exist and where good power control is taken care of.
The paper is devoted to the problem of super resolution of acoustic signals in different signals/noise relations. It presents a new method, which in typical situations performs better than the known ones.

This paper is concerned with the optimization of array geometry using genetic algorithms as the optimization tool. Recent advances in arrayprocessing have been focused on developing high resolution algorithms for estimating signal parameters. The problem of optimal design of the array geometry has been neglected and therefore addressed in this paper. An optimal array geometry will correspond to one with the lowest Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) and which gives rise to minimal ambiguities at low SNR. An approach using genetic algorithms (GA) to minimise the CRB, subjected to the ambiguity constraint is proposed and implemented. By utilizing the parallel search capability of the GA, this approach constitutes an efficient design tool for the design of an array of any size and configuration. An alternative using simulated annealing is also proposed. Both approaches are shown to produce optimum array geometries that are superior to the conventional circular array in terms of accuracy and identifiability.

This paper provides array signal processing super-resolution fast algorithm. This algorithm is based on the eigenvalue shift of the covariance matrix and the power iteration of the shift covariance matrix. It does not need the inverse matrix. It converges quickly and only needs several iterations to converge to solution. Its architecture is very simple and easily implemented.

A critical problem in many signalprocessing applications is the determination of the correct model order for example, the number of multipath components in a received communication signal. One approach to detect the model order is to use the distribution of the criterion function of the estimator applied to find interesting parameters. Unfortunately, the nominal distribution of such a criterion function relies heavily on a correct model of the observed signal. In practice, with modeling errors present, the distribution is unknown. For robust detection based on the criterion function of a certain class of estimators, a two-step procedure is proposed. First, an alternative representation of the residuals is found using a predictor. Second, using bootstrap resampling, a parameter is estimated from the new residuals. This parameter transforms the criterion function to pivotal form. Numerical experiments show robustness to a range of possible modeling errors. An example from real measured array data is included.

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.

Previous results on the detection-estimation of more uncorrelated Gaussian sources than sensors in sparse linear antenna arrays reinforces the need for an accurate maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of structured covariance matrices. A lower bound on the maximum likelihood ratio (LR) is introduced and is shown to be effective in assessing nonoptimal solutions. We show that for this application, estimation techniques based on least-squares criteria lead to results that fail to approach this lower bound, even for an asymptotically large sample volume. We introduce a LR optimisation method that generates a class of solutions that statistically exceed this bound.

An autoassociative memory using neural networks is proposed for sensor failure detection and correction. A classical approach to sensor failure detection and correction relies upon complex models of physical systems, however, a neural network approach can be used to represent systems through training for which mathematical models can not be formulated. In such cases, a neural network autoassociative memory can be used to predict sensor outputs. Differences between measured sensor outputs and sensor outputs estimated by the autoassociative memory, can be used to identify faulty sensors. Median filtering or other signalprocessing schemes may then be used to correct faulty sensor outputs. This technique can be used to process data from MEMS (micro electromechanical systems) or other sensor arrays.
