“…Under this scenario, auto-terms t-f points [18], [20], [25], [27], [30] or cross-terms t-f points [19] have been considered to construct STFD matrices. Due to the computational complexity and the cross-terms of quadratic t-f analysis tools, the linear t-f analysis tools, e.g., the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) [10], [13], [15], [16], [32] and the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) [33][34][35], also have been applied to the DOA estimation field.…”
