A gridless wideband DOA estimation based on atomic norm minimization

IEEE SAM 2020: Special Sessions > Array Signal Processing with Imperfect Scenarios

This paper proposes a new method for wideband direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. The main idea of the proposed method is focusing the array output on frequency point to the reference frequency point. But different from coherent signal subspace method (CSSM), it has no requirement of an initial DOA estimation. Atomic norm minimization (ANM) is then applied after the focusing step. Our proposed method is able to achieve better estimation performance than other wideband DOA estimators. Numerical simulations are carried out to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method compared to existing ones.
