Introduction to Direction-of-Arrival Estimation

This introduction to direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation provides an overview and performance analysis of basic DOA algorithms and comparisons among themselves. It is intended for readers new to the field, such as graduate students, engineers, or government regulators who want to learn about DOA fundamentals quickly. Topics include: antennas and array receiving systems, preprocessing schemes and model order estimation, DOA estimations with ESPRIT algorithms, and analysis of ESPRIT-based DOA estimation algorithms. Authors are Chen (wireless technology, Dalhousie U., Canada), Gokeda (most recently, project engineer, Cobham Tracking and Locating Ltd., Canada), and Yu (electrical and computer engineering, Dalhousie U.)
