Beamspace Root-MUSIC for minimum redundancy linear arrays

摘要

Beamspace Root-MUSIC, a computationally efficient beamspace implementation of Root-MUSIC developed recently for use in conjunction with a uniformly spaced linear array (ULA), is discussed. Computationally efficient methods for using beamspace Root-MUSIC in conjunction with a minimum redundancy linear array (MRLA) for both the narrowband and wideband cases are developed. The MRLA is attractive in that it offers enhanced detection performance and enhanced resolution capability relative to a ULA having the same number of elements.
