The constrained MUSIC problem

Abstract

The MUSIC-based direction-of-arrival (DOA) method is generalized to include constraints involving known signal information. Projection operators are used to constrain the noise subspace to be orthogonal to a set of prespecified direction vectors. By incorporating known source directions, the estimation of unknown source directions can be significantly improved. Simulations are performed over a wide range of scenarios to demonstrate the usefulness of the approach.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
