In the classical methods for blind channel identification (Subspace method, TXK, XBM) [l, 2, 31, the additive noise is assumed to be spatially white or known to within a multiplicative scalar. When the noise is nonwhite (colored or correlated) but has a known covariance matrix, we can still handle the problem through prewhitening. However, there are no techniques presently available to deal with completely unknown noise fields.It is well known that when the noise covariance matrix is unknown, the channel parameters may be grossly inaccurate. In this paper, we assume the noise spatially correlated, and we apply this assumption for blind channel identification. We estimate the noise covariance matrix without any assumption except its structure which is assumed to be a band-Toeplitz matrix. The performance evaluation of the developed method and its comparison to the modified subspace approach (MSS)[4] are presented.
The resolution of a Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm is determined based on its capability to resolve two closely spaced signals. In this paper, authors present and discuss the minimum number of array elements needed for the resolution of nearby sources in several DOA estimation methods. In the real world, the informative signals are corrupted by Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Thus, a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) offers a better resolution. Therefore, we show the performance of each method by applying the algorithms in different noise level environments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
