Beamspace covariance-based DoA estimation
Tadeu Nagashima Ferreira, Sergio Lima Netto, Paulo S. R. Diniz · 2008
This work presents a new version, with reduced computational complexity, of the covariance-based direction-of-arrival (CB-DoA) algorithm. The new algorithm incorporates the concept of beamspace projection before performing the DoA estimation. Such modification reduces the dimensions of the matrices employed by the elements pace CB-DoA, simplifying the resulting computations while preserving the detectability of the original algorithm. The Beamspace CB-DoA algorithm is compared to the traditional algorithm Beamspace ESPRIT, as well as to element space CB-DoA.
