Abstract

This paper presents a particular array configuration and the cross-covariation matrices for the subarray sensor outputs. Additionally, a new subspace-based two-dimensional (2-D) bearing estimation algorithm using fractional lower order statistics is proposed. This algorithm estimates the 2-D directions-of-arrival of array sensor signals in the presence of impulsive noise, and can be modeled as a complex symmetric alpha-stable (SαS) process. It exploits the infinite pth-moments for p ≥ α and finite fractional pth-order moments for 1 < p < α for SαS processes. The algorithm is robust against additive SαS noise. Simulation results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
