Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel method for subspace estimation used high resolution method without eigendecomposition where the sample Cross-Spectral Matrix (CSM) is replaced by upper triangular matrix obtained from LU factorization. This novel method decreases the computational complexity. The method relies on a recently published result on Rank-Revealing LU (RRLU) factorization. Simulation results demonstrates that the new algorithm outperform the Householder rank-revealing QR (RRQR) factorization method and the MUSIC in the low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) scenarios.
Abstract: This paper deals with the localization of the wideband sources. We develop a new approach for estimating the wide band sources parameters. This method is based on the high order statistics of the recorded data in order to eliminate the Gaussian components from the signals received on the various hydrophones.In fact the noise of sea bottom is regarded as being Gaussian. Thanks to the coherent signal subspace algorithm based on the cumulant matrix of the received data instead of the cross-spectral matrix the wideband correlated sources are perfectly located in the very noisy environment. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm on the real data recorded during an underwater acoustics experiments.
Abstract: In this paper, a new time-delay estimation
technique based on the cross IB-energy operator [5] is
introduced. This quadratic energy detector measures how
much a signal is present in another one. The location of the
peak of the energy operator, corresponding to the maximum of
interaction between the two signals, is the estimate of the
delay. The method is a fully data-driven approach. The
discrete version of the continuous-time form of the cross IBenergy
operator, for its implementation, is presented. The
effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated on real
underwater acoustic signals arriving from targets and the
results compared to the cross-correlation method.
