K.Radhakrishnan, A.Unnikrishnan . An AR Model Based Robust DOA Estimation. International Journal of Computer Applications. 2, 1 ( May 2010), 101-104. DOI=10.5120/606-856
This paper investigates the possibility estimating the direction of arrival (DOA) in a system identification perspective. The system is modeled as an autoregressive (AR) process and extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used to estimate the DOA, which forms a state of the augmented state vector of the EKF. The states generate the signals at a linearly phased array. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the approach to estimate DOA to a reasonable degree of convergence especially at high SNRs.
