Development of MUSIC Algorithm for Direction of Arrival Estimation by Using BB-ESPAR-8 Antenna for Wideband Signals

This article presents a new method of Direction Of Arrival (DOA) estimation technique using Multiple Signal Classification ( MUSIC ) algorithm. This method is applied to communication signals that work in broadband frequency by using a single RF port of Broad-Band ESPAR Antenna, with eight parasitic radiators (BB-ESPAR-8).

Development and Evaluation of Broadband ESPAR-8 Antenna

This paper presents the development and evaluation of BroadBand Electrically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator antenna by using eight parasitic radiators BB-ESPAR-8 . The antenna has a symmetrical structure that consists of: i- one active element as a broad band shuttle antenna, ii- eight wideband parasitic radiators, iii- cylindrical ground plane, iv- set of reactances.
