Bayesian algorithm for high‐resolution DOA estimation
Yin Zhang, Yulin Huang, Jianyu Yang · Electronics Letters · 2015
A maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm based on Bayesian criterion for high‐resolution direction‐of‐arrival (DOA) estimation in array signal processing is proposed. The generalised Gaussian distribution was considered as the prior information of sources distribution for its wide applicability. The statistic parameter of the generalised Gaussian function can be transformed according to different sources distribution conditions. Only the sparse signal recovery problem is considered. It is found that with the generalised Gaussian sparse constraint, the proposed MAP algorithm provides high DOA estimation performance in the case of limited snapshots. Simulation results are given to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
