Detection-Estimation in Sensor Arrays without Eigendecompositions

概要

論文の詳細を見る
High resolution algorithms in sensor arrays lead to accurate results but with expensive eigendecompositions making its use in real-time applications such as mobile communications relatively difficult. In this paper, a trade-off between accuracy and computational load is accomplished through a simplified algorithm which instead of eigendecompositions, uses the robust QR decomposition for which many efficient parallel (systolic, wavefront array) implementations exist. First, a simple detection scheme is presented and, through simulations, is shown to work very well for sufficient SNR, even when signals are coherent. Outputs of the detection process include simultaneously estimates of signals Direction Of Arrivals (DOA's) and a simple beamformer vector resulting in an estimate of the desired signal. Extensive simulations are performed assuming different scenarios of variations in SNR, DOA's leading to discussions on the possibilities and limitations of the proposed solution.
