A Novel Algorithm for DOA Estimation in Asynchronous DS-CDMA Systems

摘要

A novel algorithm for DOA estimation using linear antenna array in the asynchronous DS-CDMA systems is presented in the presence of channel mismatches or signal fading between the sensors. Code-matched filters and parallel MUSIC algorithms are proposed to overcome the restriction that the number of array elements must exceeds the number of the sources for subspace-based direction of arrival. It can be shown that multiple access interference throughout the code-matched filter is asymptotically Gaussian in the asynchronous DS-CDMA systems. A relevant performance analysis is derived. Computer simulation proved the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
