DOA estimation using beamspace root-music based estimator bank

Abstract

The estimator bank approach allows improving the performance of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in the area of low signal-to-noise ratio. In the paper, the estimator bank is formed from the modified Beamspace Root-MUSIC estimator using resampling by adding pseudo-noise. The illumination of outlying roots of the modified beamspace Root-MUSIC polynomial is used instead of elimination of entire estimator.
