DoA estimation via unlimited sensing

Direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation is a mature topic with decades of history. Despite the progress in the field, very few papers have looked at the problem of DoA estimation with unknown dynamic range. Consider the case of space exploration or near-field and far-field emitters. In such settings, the amplitude of the impinging wavefront can be...

Ultrasonic imaging through aberrating layers using covariance matching

We consider the scenario of finding the transfer function of an aberrating layer in front of a receiving ultrasound (US) array, assuming a separate non-aberrated transmit source. We propose a method for blindly estimating this transfer function without exact knowledge of the ultrasound sources or acoustic contrast image, and without directly...

Self-Calibration of Acoustic Scalar and Vector Sensor Arrays

In this work, we consider the self-calibration problem of joint calibration and direction-of-Arrival (DOA) estimation using acoustic sensor arrays. Unlike many previous iterative approaches, we propose solvers that can be readily used for both linear and non-linear arrays for jointly estimating the sensor gain, phase errors, and the source...
