DOA estimation of multi-band signals using a compressed sensing technique

Much attention has been paid to direction of arrival (DOA) estimation using a compressed sensing technique. In our previous study, we have proposed a method to estimate DOAs of multi-band signals using an array antenna at a receiver. As a result, we have produced an improvement of the probability of correct estimation. Moreover, the method can deal with waves exceeding the degrees of freedom of the array. However, we have assumed that incident waves have multi-bands where complex amplitudes are the same. First, in this paper, we propose a method that allows the estimation of DOAs when only the phases at the bands are different using not the complex amplitudes but powers of the signals. Second, we extend the technique in such a way that it can estimate DOAs of the signals having different amplitudes among bands.
