A systolic MUSIC system for VLSI implementation

The authors review the MUSIC algorithm and introduce novel systolic modules required for its implementation. A complete system based on uniform time-sampled sum-of-sinusoid signals in Gaussian noise and the MUSIC algorithm is then discussed. Block processing, limited sampling interval, and serial-by-word communication between modules are assumed. Simulation results are compared with results obtained from conventional MUSIC algorithm computations. Comparison with results from an exact singular-value-decomposition program show no significant differences.<>
