Abstract

This paper presents results of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation using multiple signal classification (MUSIC), Root-MUSIC, and estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique algorithms. As is well known, these algorithms are mainly based on the specific properties of the signal covariance matrix as well as the decomposition of the observation space into two subspaces, one for the signal and the other for the noise. Here, we are particularly interested in the quality of sources localization considering only the case of uncorrelated radio frequency signals impinging on an antenna array. A measurement system consisting of a linear array antenna and a five-port network applicable to a demodulator such as a receiver is used for the DOA estimation process. Co-simulations performed with the Advanced Device System and Matlab yielded interesting results not only on their performance but also on their limitation.
