Abstract

Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation has a wide range of applications in military and civilian fields. However, most methods are based on Gaussian noise assumptions. If the received signals contain impulsive noise, the performance of DOA estimation will be significantly reduced. Based on analyzing the properties of the Logistic function, a new kernel function is proposed, and its properties are analyzed and proven. Furthermore, a cost function is proposed. By applying this cost function to low-rank decomposition technology, a novel DOA estimation method for coherently distributed sources is proposed. The experiment results show that compared with the existing methods, this method can obtain high precision and highly robust DOA estimation for coherently distributed sources under strongly impulsive noise and a low generalized signal-to-noise ratio.
