High-resolution DOA estimation of coherent sources based on acoustic vector-sensor array

The and acoustic particle ve output of acoustic vector-sensors is a vector corresponding to the acoustic pressure locity. The main advantage of the acoustic vector-sensors over traditional scalar sensors is that they make full use of more available acoustic information. The acoustic vector-sensors will be widely used in the near future. High resolution MUSIC algorithm for DOA estimation based on acoustic vector-sensors is presented in this paper. Applying forward spatial smoothing technique of array signal processing to this algorithm, we deduce high resolution DOA estimator of coherent sources based on acoustic vectorsensors. Including the information of acoustic particle velocity in the array signals, the new high resolution algorithm overcomes bearing ambiguity from larboard and starboard of line array. Computer simulation resuits show that the new method possesses good performance of DOA estimation.
