Abstract

The practical DOA estimation method for uniform circular smart antenna (UCSA) is considered. DOA estimation with unitary root-MUSIC algorithm, which exploits a real-valued eigendecomposition, greatly reduces its computational complexity. However, its application is limited to the uniform linear smart antenna (ULSA). In this contribution, we propose a novel signal converter through which the low cost unitary root-MUSIC algorithm can be exploited for uniform circular smart antenna. The converter is easy to implement by IFFT transformation and real-valued weighting. Simulation results show this method is feasible to provide high resolution and high capacity.
