Source Bearing and Steering-Vector Estimation using Partially Calibrated Arrays [PDF]
The problem of source direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation using a sensor array is addressed, where some of the sensors are perfectly calibrated, while others are uncalibrated. An algorithm is proposed for estimating the source directions in addition to the estimation of unknown array parameters such as sensor gains and phases, as a way of performing ...

Implementation of Accurate Broadband Steering Vectors for Broadband Angle of Arrival Estimation [PDF]
Motivated by accurate broadband steering vector requirements for applications such as broadband angle of arrival estimation, we review fractional delay filter designs. A common feature across these are their rapidly decreasing performance as the Nyquist rate is approached.

Signal waveform estimation in the presence of uncertainties about the steering vector [PDF]
The problem of signal waveform estimation using an array of sensors where there exist uncertainties about the steering vector of interest is presented in this paper. This problem occurs in many situations, including arrays undergoing deformations, uncalibrated arrays, scattering around the source, etc.

Amplitude estimation of a signal with known waveform in the presence of steering vector uncertainties [PDF]
In this correspondence, we address the problem of estimating the amplitude of a signal with known waveform received on an array of sensors and we consider the case where there exist uncertainties about the spatial signature of the signal of interest. Closed-form expressions for the Crame/spl acute/r-Rao bound are derived and the respective influence of

New convex approaches to general MVDR robust adaptive beamforming problems
Consider general minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) robust adaptive beamforming problems based on the optimal estimation for both the desired signal steering vector and the interference‐plus‐noise covariance (INC) matrix.

A robust generalized sidelobe canceller via steering vector estimation [PDF]
In the presence of the direction of arrival (DOA) mismatch, the performance of generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) may suffer severe degradation due to the gain loss of the desired signal in the main array and cancellation. In this paper, one effective GSC algorithm is proposed to improve the robustness against the DOA mismatch of the desired signal ...

Robust adaptive beamforming using a Bayesian steering vector error model [PDF]
We propose a Bayesian approach to robust adaptive beamforming which entails considering the steering vector of interest as a random variable with some prior distribution.

Estimating Angle of Arrival (AoA) of multiple Echoes in a Steering Vector Space
Consider a microphone array, such as those present in Amazon Echos, conference phones, or self-driving cars. One of the goals of these arrays is to decode the angles in which acoustic signals arrive at them. This paper considers the problem of estimating K angle of arrivals (AoA), i.e., the direct path's AoA and the AoA of subsequent echoes ...

Null broadened–deepened array antenna beamforming for GNSS jamming mitigation in moving platforms
Steering vector and covariance matrix estimation mismatch along with moving jammer/platform, can affect the performance of null-steering beamformer. In this paper, by utilizing null-widening, null-deepening and diagonal loading shrinkage in space–time ...
