Summary:A new method of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for multiple
broadband farfield signals is presented. The technique uses a beamspace
preprocessing structure based on frequency invariant beamforming.
Specifically, a set of beam-shaping filters focus the received array
data in the time domain, thereby avoiding the need for frequency
decomposition. Hence, the proposed method is conceptually different from
most other broadband DOA estimators, which require frequency
decomposition. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the use of
the new method and compare it with conventional coherent signal subspace
methods
