Title
Detection of Direction-Of-Arrival in Time Domain Using Compressive Time Delay Estimation with Single and Multiple Measurements.
Abstract
The compressive time delay estimation (TDE) is combined with delay-and-sum beamforming to obtain direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimates in the time domain. Generally, the matched filter that detects the arrivals at the hydrophone is used with beamforming. However, when the ocean noise smears the arrivals, ambiguities appear in the beamforming results, degrading the DOA estimation. In this work, compressive sensing (CS) is applied to accurately evaluate the arrivals by suppressing the noise, which enables the correct detection of arrivals. For this purpose, CS is used in two steps. First, the candidate time delays for the actual arrivals are calculated in the continuous time domain using a grid-free CS. Then, the dominant arrivals constituting the received signal are selected by a conventional CS using the time delays in the discrete time domain. Basically, the compressive TDE is used with a single measurement. To further reduce the noise, common arrivals over multiple measurements, which are obtained using the extended compressive TDE, are exploited. The delay-and-sum beamforming technique using refined arrival estimates provides more pronounced DOAs. The proposed scheme is applied to shallow-water acoustic variability experiment 15 (SAVEX15) measurement data to demonstrate its validity.
