To improve precision in source localization from a time difference of arrival (TDOA) that has large measurement errors, this paper proposes a TDOA positioning algorithm based on an improved two-step constrained total least-squares algorithm; the algorithm comprise an iterative technique based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The algorithm linearizes the obtained time difference observation equation, and by considering the influence of the TDOA measurement errors on its accuracy, it provides the optimal TDOA positioning model. It first transforms the initial unary optimization problem into a binary optimization problem by introducing intermediate variables. It then obtains a coarse estimate of the source position with ADMM. It subsequently calculates a measurement matrix through the coarse estimate and the finally uses ADMM again to find the final source position. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can approach Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) better and outperforms several existing methods when there are large TDOA measurement errors.

Direction-of-arrival estimation using estimator banks in low-angle tracking for S-band radar

Saiqin Xu, Baixiao Chen, Houhong Xiang

Summary: Tracking low-angle targets over an uneven surface is challenging due to the presence of highly correlated, complicated, and volatile multipath signals encountered in radar. An effective direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation approach based on maximum likelihood (ML) estimator, known as optimal synthetic vector maximum likelihood (OSVML) method, has been proposed to address this challenge. The performance of this method has been evaluated through simulations and field data sets acquired from S-band radar, showing promising results in naval environments.

Summary: The paper formulates the coherent DOA estimation problem as a joint-sparse recovery problem by exploiting signal sparsity in the spatial domain. A method based on CS theory and the generalized MUSIC criterion is proposed, which improves on MUSIC and achieves reliable support recovery under rank-defect conditions. The proposed method achieves super-resolution by modifying the criterion and is shown to have satisfactory performance even in the case of coherent sources.

Summary: Electromagnetic vector sensors (EMVS) are widely used in array signal processing due to their polarization diversity advantages, but they come with a large hardware cost and computational complexity.

By using a sparse network of analog phase shifters and a two-step multi-parameter estimation algorithm, we are able to obtain high-accuracy estimates with reduced front-end chains and low computational complexity.

Deep Neural Networks for Direction of Arrival Estimation of Multiple Targets With Sparse Prior for Line-of-Sight Scenarios

Saiqin Xu, Alessandro Brighente, Baixiao Chen, Mauro Conti, Xiancheng Cheng, Dongchen Zhu

Summary: Received signal Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation is a significant problem with wide-ranging applications. Current approaches struggle to separate closely located transmitters without using a large number of antennas, resulting in higher costs. In this paper, we propose a deep learning framework that can estimate DOA under Line-of-Sight scenarios, distinguishing more closely located sources than the number of receiver's antennas. Our approach reduces hardware complexity compared to state-of-the-art solutions and performs well in demanding scenarios with low SNR and limited snapshots.
