Kc. Tan et Gl. Oh, ESTIMATING DIRECTIONS-OF-ARRIVAL OF COHERENT SIGNALS IN UNKNOWN CORRELATED NOISE VIA SPATIAL SMOOTHING, IEEE transactions on signal processing, 45(4), 1997, pp. 1087-1091
We show that any weighted spatial smoothing (WSS) of subarray covarian
ce matrices with nonzero weights will lead to a decorrelation of signa
ls, and we discuss the consequences of using negative weights. We next
propose a WSS that will eliminate correlated noise and establish a re
lationship between the WSS and covariance differencing. Finally, we pr
esent numerical results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the propos
ed WSS.
