Abstract

A spatial smoothing scheme is further investigated in the context of coherent signal classification. It is shown that by making use of a set of forward and complex conjugated backward subarrays simultaneously, it is always possible to estimate any K directions of arrival using at most 3K/2 sensor elements. This is achieved by creating a smoothed array output covariance matrix that is structurally identical to a covariance matrix in some noncoherent situation. By incorporating eigenstructure-based techniques on this smoothed covariance matrix, it then becomes possible to correctly identify all directions of arrival irrespective of their correlation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
