Abstract

The paper involves the design, development and implementation of a high-resolution direction of arrival estimation (DOA) algorithm. DOA estimator is essentially a beamformer used in conjunction with an array of sensors that collect spatial samples of propagating wave field to provide a versatile form of spatial filtering. High-resolution DOA estimation includes Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) and Subband Peak Energy Detection (SPED) for broadband source location. The SPED implementation is conceptually a minimum variance beamformer. The data from the beamformer for each frequency bin is same with MVDR while the energy detection algorithm is different. Instead of summing the energy in a single azimuth bin for all frequency bins, SPED utilizes only the peak information to estimate the detection probability.
