Abstract
The Capon method is one of the classical direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation methods in array signal processing. The standard analysis of the additional bias of this method is asymptotic, which assumes the number of snapshots $K$ goes to infinity. This paper provides a non-asymptotic analysis for the additional bias by employing some tools from high-dimensional probability and perturbation analysis of optimization problems. We establish upper bounds for the additional bias in both expectation and tail forms, which reveal that the additional bias has an error rate of $O(K^{-\frac{1}{2}})$ when the number of snapshots satisfies a certain condition. We demonstrate our results by some numerical experiments.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Signal Processing Letters is a monthly, archival publication designed to provide rapid dissemination of original, cutting-edge ideas and timely, significant contributions in signal, image, speech, language and audio processing. Papers published in the Letters can be presented within one year of their appearance in signal processing conferences such as ICASSP, GlobalSIP and ICIP, and also in several workshop organized by the Signal Processing Society.
