A dual-polarized multiple signal classification (DP-MUSIC) algorithm is presented to estimate the arrival directions and polarizations for a dual-polarized conformal array. Each polarization signal is decomposed into two orthogonal polarization components, which are considered to be a pair of coherent signals coming from the same direction but different polarization. The polarization parameters are modeled as the equivalent coherence coefficients of the orthogonal polarization components. Then, the method of decoherence can be used to decouple the information of polarization states and signal angles. After that, the direction of arrival (DOA) and polarization parameters can be estimated by the DP-MUSIC algorithm. Moreover, the angles of incident direction are re-estimated, which greatly improves the accuracy of DOA estimation. The Cramer–Rao bound (CRB) is derived and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by Monte Carlo simulations.

Due to the variable curvature of the conformal carrier, the pattern of each element has a different direction. The traditional method of analyzing the conformal array is to use the Euler rotation angle and its matrix representation. However, it is computationally demanding especially for irregular array structures. In this paper, we present a novel algorithm by combining the geometric algebra with Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC), termed as GA-MUSIC, to solve the direction of arrival (DOA) for cylindrical conformal array. And on this basis, we derive the pattern and array manifold. Compared with the existing algorithms, our proposed one avoids the cumbersome matrix transformations and largely decreases the computational complexity. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a sub-array divided technique using K-means algorithm for spherical conformal array is proposed. All elements of spherical conformal array can be divided into a few sub-arrays by employing the K-means algorithm, and the standard multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is applied to estimate signals Direction-of-arrival (DOA) on these sub-arrays. Simulations of estimating DOA on a rotational spherical conformal array have been made and the results show that the resolution of DOA is improved by our method compare to existing methods.

This work is mainly focused on the application of the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm for gravitational wave burst search. This algorithm extracts important gravitational wave characteristics from signals coming from detectors with arbitrary position, orientation and noise covariance. In this paper, the MUSIC algorithm is described in detail along with the necessary adjustments required for gravitational wave burst search. The algorithm's performance is measured using simulated signals and noise. MUSIC is compared with the Q-transform for signal triggering and with Bayesian analysis for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, using the Ω-pipeline. Experimental results show that MUSIC has a lower resolution but is faster. MUSIC is a promising tool for real-time gravitational wave search for multi-messenger astronomy.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar, and propose a total array-based multiple signals classification (TA-MUSIC) algorithm for two-dimensional direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation with a coprime cubic array (CCA). Unlike the conventional multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm, the TA-MUSIC algorithm employs not only the auto-covariance matrix but also the mutual covariance matrix by stacking the received signals of two sub cubic arrays so that full degrees of freedom (DOFs) can be utilized. We verified that the phase ambiguity problem can be eliminated by employing the coprime property. Moreover, to achieve lower complexity, we explored the estimation of signal parameters via the rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT)-based multiple signal classification (E-MUSIC) algorithm, which uses a successive scheme to be computationally efficient. The Cramer–Rao bound (CRB) was taken as a theoretical benchmark for the lower boundary of the unbiased estimate. Finally, numerical simulations were conducted in order to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithms.

In this paper, we investigate the issue of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of multiple signals in coprime arrays. An algorithm based on multiple signal classification (MUSIC) and forward and backward spatial smoothing (FBSS) is used for DOA estimation of this signal caused by multipath and interference. The large distance between adjacent elements of each subarray in the coprime arrays will bring phase ambiguity issues. According to the feature of the coprime number, the ambiguity problem can be eliminated. The correct DOA estimation can be obtained by searching for the common peak of the spatial spectrum and finding the overlapping peaks in the MUSIC spectrum of the two subarrays. For the rank deficit problem caused by the coherent signal, the FBSS algorithm is used for signal preprocessing before the MUSIC algorithm. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively solve the rank deficiency and phase ambiguity problems caused by coherent signals and sparse arrays in the coprime arrays.

This paper discusses the problem of direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation using the root multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm in a bistatic multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) radar. The proposed algorithm gets the estimation of DOA and DOD via computing the roots of polynomials and it avoids the spectral peak searching in the conventional MUSIC algorithm. Thus the Root-MUSIC algorithm has much lower computational load. Simulation results illustrate our proposed algorithm has better angle estimation performance than the conventional algorithms.

The PARAFAC-MUSIC algorithm is proposed to estimate the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of the targets with Doppler frequency in a monostatic MIMO radar system in this paper. To estimate the Doppler frequency, the PARAFAC (parallel factor) algorithm is firstly utilized in the proposed algorithm, and after the compensation of Doppler frequency, MUSIC (multiple signal classification) algorithm is applied to estimate the DOA. By these two steps, the DOA of moving targets can be estimated successfully. Simulation results show that the proposed PARAFAC-MUSIC algorithm has a higher accuracy than the PARAFAC algorithm and the MUSIC algorithm in DOA estimation.

A new algorithm which associates (Multiple Signal Classification) MUSIC with acoustic scattering model for bearing and range estimation is proposed. This algorithm takes into account the reflection and the refraction of wave in the interface of water-sediment in underwater acoustics. A new directional vector, which contains the Direction-Of-Arrival (DOA) of objects and objects-sensors distances, is used in MUSIC algorithm instead of classical model. The influence of the depth of buried objects is discussed. Finally, the numerical results are given in the case of buried cylindrical shells.
