A Method of 2-D DOA Estimation Based on Modified MUSIC Algorithm

In this paper, a method of being modified 2-D DOA estimation is presented. By reconstructing covariance matrix of the received array data, the correlativity of the incident signals is recreased, and mis-division between signal subspace and noise subspace is controlled, therefore the number of estimated signals would be equal to the number of actual incident signals. This method has good performance not only for DOA estimation of the correlation signals, but for DOA estimation of the non-correlation signals. In addition the computational complexity will not increase obviously. The simulation tests verify the validity of the presented algorithm.
