The context of the localization technique discussed involves placement of the source in the near field of the sensor array and unknown character of the source in the sense that the transmitted signal, its power spectral density, and its timing are unknown to the sensors. However, the sensors have ideal mutual time and phase synchronization, highly precise knowledge of their own location, and ideal communication link to a fusion center. The source location is centrally estimated by coherently processing the received signals. For this, an estimator is derived exploiting the source location information in the phase difference of the received signals at pairs of sensors. An analytical expression is developed for the Cramer Rao lower bound (CRLB) relating the mean square error (MSE) of the location estimates to the source signal parameters and sensors layout. Numerical examples and Monte Carlo analysis validate the close form expression developed and show the high accuracy capabilities of the source localization via the presented coherent processing method.","PeriodicalId":260263,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Signals, Circuits and Systems ISSCS2013","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128653463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was shown that linear phase FIR filters cannot exactly satisfy the condition that the squared amplitude frequency responses are mirror images of each other about the line ω= π /2 which has led to the name quadrature mirror flters. It is important to have a flat frequency response for the filters. The solution is to approximate the response of each frequency band by using B-spline functions, that insures continuous superior order derivatives. In the proposed method, the prototype filter is optimized with the novelty of using spline functions in the transition band.","PeriodicalId":260263,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Signals, Circuits and Systems ISSCS2013","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129091318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
