Direction Finding of Nonstationary Signals using a Time-Frequency Hough Transform
L.A. Cirillo, Abdelhak M. Zoubir, Moeness G. Amin · 2006
We consider the problem of direction finding for nonstationary signals impinging on an array of sensors. Making use of a time-frequency representation of the data, we are able to exploit the non-stationary nature of the source signals. We employ a generalized Hough transform to estimate the time-frequency signature of each source. The proposed method also allows direction finding when there are more sources than the number of array sensors.
