Abstract
- This paper presents a modified orthogonal propagator method (OPM) with spline interpolation for direction of arrival (DoA) estimation. The conventional OPM is based on the noise-free signal model. When noise exists, the main contribution of noise (additive temporally and spatially white Gaussian noise) is in the diagonal elements of the data covariance matrix. Therefore, the influence of noise can be minimized by restoring the noise free diagonal elements through an interpolation procedure and the propagator can then be directly extracted from the denoised data covariance matrix, which is the main idea of the proposed method in this paper. The performance of the proposed modified OPM is tested through numerical simulations. Simulation results show that the proposed modified OPM achieves low root-mean square errors (RMSEs) with small computational load in DoA estimation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
