A novel method for joint estimation of Doppler fre- quency, two-dimensional （2D） direction of departure and 2D direc- tion of arrival based on the propagator method （PM） for arbitrary arrays is discussed. A special matrix is constructed to eliminate the influence of spatial colored noise. The four-dimensional （4D） angle and Doppler frequency are extracted from the matrix and the three- dimensional （3D） coordinates of the targets are then calculated on the basis of these angles. The proposed algorithm provides a lower computational complexity and has a parameter estimation very close to that of the ESPRIT algorithm and the DOA-matrix al- gorithm in the high signal to noise ratio and the Cramer-Rao bound （CRB） is given. Furthermore, multi-dimensional parameters can be automatically paired by this algorithm to avoid performance degra- dation resulting from wrong pairing. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

The frame offset owing to incorrect start point position of the fast Fourier transform （FFT） window, and the carrier frequency offset （CFO） due to Doppler frequency shift or the frequency mismatch between the transmitter and receiver oscil ators, can bring severe inter-symbol interference （ISI） and inter-carrier interference （ICI） for the OFDM system. Relying on the relatively good correlation charac-teristic of the pseudo-noise （PN） sequence, a joint frame offset and normalized CFO estimation algorithm based on PN preamble in time domain is developed to realize the frame and frequency synchronization in the OFDM system. By comparison, the perfor-mances of the traditional algorithm and the improved algorithm are simulated under different conditions. The results indicate that the PN preamble based algorithm both in frame offset estimation and CFO estimation is more accurate, resource-saving and robust even under poor channel condition, such as low signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） and large normalized CFO.展开更多

By adjusting the lengths of the functions in the kernel, the balance between resolution retaining and interference suppressing can be adjusted conveniently. The proposed method with merits of interference terms reduction and noise suppression can provide time frequency representation of better readability and more accurate instantaneous frequency （IF） estimation with higher order SP-PVfVD. The performance of the SP-PWVD is verified by computer simulations.展开更多

The cost function is constructed using 12-norm Gaussian entropy combined with an additional constraint, 12-norm constraint or linear constraint. By minimizing the cost functions in the temporal and the spatial dimensions using corresponding iteration algorithms respectively, the sparse discrete Fourier transforms （DFTs） of temporal and spatial samples are obtained to represent the extrapolated sequences with much larger sizes than the original samples. Then frequency and angle estimates are obtained by performing the traditional simple methods on the extrapolated sequences. It is shown that the proposed algorithm offers increased resolution and significantly reduced sidelobes compared with the periodogram and beamforming based methods. And it achieves high precision compared with the high-resolution method with lower computational burden. Some numerical simulations and real data processing results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the method.展开更多
