Introduction to Direction-of-Arrival Estimation (Chen, Z.; 2010) [Reviews and Abstracts]

This book contains seven chapters. Chapter 1, a concise, high-level introduction to smart antennas, focuses on the basic hardware block diagram of a smart antenna receiver. The authors summarize the processes performed by the adaptive antenna processor, including model-order estimation, DOA estimation, and spatial filtering, the subjects of this book. The ten pages of Chapter 2 very briefly discuss antennas and arrays Linear and planar arrays are used to explain all DOA algorithms in the following chapters. The authors derive a matrix equation that describes the signals received by the elements of a linear array, which reappears frequently in the following chapters.
