Abstract

In this work, we present a direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation method for narrowband sources impinging from the far-field on a uniform linear array (ULA) of sensors, based on the multichannel compressed sensing (CS) framework. We discretize the angular space uniformly into a grid of possible locations, which is much larger than the number of sensors, and assume that only a few of them will correspond to the active sources. As long as the DOAs of the sources are located at a few locations on the angular grid, they will share a common spatial support. To exploit this joint sparsity, we take several time snapshots and formulate a multichannel spatial compressed sensing (SM-CS) problem. Simultaneous Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (SOMP) is used for the reconstruction and the estimation of the angular power spectrum. The performance of the proposed method is compared against standard spectral-based approaches and other sparsity based methods.
