ESPRIT is an algorithm for determining the fixed directions of arrival of a set of narrowband signals at an array of sensors. Its computational burden makes it unsuitable for real-time processing of signals with time-varying directions of arrival. The authors develop a new implementation of ESPRIT that has potential for real-time processing. It is based on a rank-revealing URV decomposition, rather than the eigendecomposition or singular value decomposition (SVD) used in previous ESPRIT algorithms. Its performance is demonstrated on simulated data representing both constant and time-varying signals. It is shown that the URV-based ESPRIT algorithm is effective for estimating time-varying directions-of-arrival at considerable computational savings over the SVD-based algorithm.>
