Abstract
Direction of arrival estimation is one of the most important issues in array signals processing. In this paper, a new method is presented for direction estimation of coherent wide-band signals. First of all, signal eigenvalues which have information of the direction of coherent signals, are extracted as primary vectors in each frequency bin. Afterwards, by constructing the innovative matrix H from signal eigenvalues, the de-correlation process is performed and the linear independent vectors of sources are extracted from SVD decomposition. Finally, by choosing transfer matrix, the signal subspace of the reference frequency is transferred to other frequency bins and the direction estimation process is performed by using TOPS algorithm. The proposed method does not need any knowledge of the number of sources and initial estimation of arrival angles. According to the simulation results, the CTOPS new method has a better performance than TOPS method in the presence of correlated sources.
