Direction of Arrival Estimation of Wideband Sources Using Sparse Linear Arrays

In this paper, we study the problem of wideband direction of arrival (DoA) estimation with sparse linear arrays (SLAs), where a number of uncorrelated wideband signals impinge on an SLA and the data is collected from multiple frequency bins. To boost the performance and perform underdetermined DoA estimation, the difference co-array response...

Wideband Direction of Arrival Estimation with Sparse Linear Arrays

This paper concerns wideband direction of arrival (DoA) estimation with sparse linear arrays (SLAs). We rely on the assumption that the power spectrum of the wideband sources is the same up to a scaling factor, which could in theory allow us to resolve not only more sources than the number of antennas but also more sources than the number of...

Block Transmissions over Doubly Selective Channels: Iterative Channel Estimation and Turbo Equalization

Modern wireless communication systems require high transmission rates, giving rise to frequency selectivity due to multipath propagation. In addition, high-mobility terminals and scatterers induce Doppler shifts that introduce time selectivity. Therefore, advanced techniques are needed to accurately model the time- and frequency-selective (i.e.,...

Low-Complexity Block Turbo Equalization for OFDM Systems in Time-Varying Channels

We propose low-complexity block turbo equalizers for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in time-varying channels. The presented work is based on a soft minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) block linear equalizer (BLE) that exploits the banded structure of the frequency-domain channel matrix, as well as a receiver window that...
