摘要:
The design of the modern computing paradigm of heuristics is an innovative development for parameter estimation of direction of arrival (DOA) using sparse antenna arrays. In this study, the optimization strength of the flower pollination algorithm (FPA) is exploited for the DOA estimation in a low signal to noise ratio (SNR) regime by applying coprime sensor arrays (CSA). The enhanced degree of freedom (DOF) is achieved with FPA by investigating the global minima of highly nonlinear cost function with multiple local minimas. The sparse structure of CSA demonstrates that the DOF up to O(MN) is achieved by employing M + N CSA elements, where M and N are the numbers of antenna elements used to construct the CSA. Performance analysis is conducted for estimation accuracy, robustness against noise, robustness against snapshots, frequency distribution of root mean square error (RMSE), variability analysis of RMSE, cumulative distribution function (CDF) of RMSE over Monte Carlo runs and the comparative studies of particle swarm optimization (PSO). These reveal the worth of the proposed methodology for estimating DOA.
