Abstract

This paper introduces a new direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm for wideband sources called test of orthogonality of projected subspaces (TOPS). This new technique estimates DOAs by measuring the orthogonal relation between the signal and the noise subspaces of multiple frequency components of the sources. TOPS can be used with arbitrary shaped one-dimensional (1-D) or two-dimensional (2-D) arrays. Unlike other coherent wideband methods, such as the coherent signal subspace method (CSSM) and WAVES, the new method does not require any preprocessing for initial values. The performance of those wideband techniques and incoherent MUSIC is compared with that of the new method through computer simulations. The simulations show that this new technique performs better than others in mid signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ranges, while coherent methods work best in low SNR and incoherent methods work best in high SNR. Thus, TOPS fills a gap between coherent and incoherent methods.
