New Proposed Method of Direction Finding Using ESPRIT

Abstract

This paper is devoted to introduce the high performance of a new proposed method called (2D-FB-ESPRIT). A study of the estimation of 2-D Angle of Arrival (2-D AOA) of the signals incoming from the sources by using the data, collected from equally spacing planar array based on the 2-D ESPRIT. This new proposed method is based on Forward/Backward spatial smoothing techniques. This method overcomes the error that occurs in the normal 2D-ESPRIT method. In this paper, the results show a substantial improvement occurs in performance of the proposed method as compared with the original method. The 2-D ESPRIT is two dimentional Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariance Technique
