摘要

Disclosed are an improved direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method and apparatus which employ a linear prediction extension technique, thereby having excellent resolution even with a small number of antennas. In an ULA antenna in which N actual antennas are spaced apart by an equal interval d in a row, a conversion matrix indicating the relationship between received signals received from i^th to (N-2+i)^th antennas and a received signal received from an (N-1+i)^th antenna is obtained. The obtained conversion matrix is multiplied by values corresponding to received signals received from (i+1)^th to (N-1+i)^th antennas to generate a virtual received signal received from a new virtual antenna corresponding to an (N+i)^th antenna. As incrementing, by one, the number i of signals received from the virtual antenna, obtaining the conversion matrix and generating the virtual received signal are repeated until the number i reaches a preset number M. By using a preset number M of virtual received signals and signals directly received from an N number of actual antennas together, a DOA estimation algorithm such as the Bartlett algorithm is performed to calculate a DOA. Because the DOA estimation method and apparatus can be used even when antenna intervals are narrow, a grating lobe is not generated while maintaining a high resolution. It is not required to set an initial sector. The number of virtual antennas can be increased three times or more than the number of actual antennas.
