Low-Complexity MUSIC-Based Direction-of-Arrival Detection Algorithm for Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave Vital Radar

This paper proposes a low complexity multiple-signal-classifier (MUSIC)-based direction-of-arrival (DOA) detection algorithm for frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) vital radars. In order to reduce redundant complexity, the proposed algorithm employs characteristics of distance between adjacent arrays having trade-offs between field of view (FOV) and resolution performance. First, the proposed algorithm performs coarse DOA estimation using fast Fourier transform. On the basis of the coarse DOA estimation, the number of channels as input of the MUSIC algorithm are selected. If the estimated DOA is smaller than 30°, it implies that there is an FOV margin. Therefore, the proposed algorithm employs only half of the channels, that is, it is the same as doubling the spacing between arrays. By doing so, the proposed algorithm achieves more than 40% complexity reduction compared to the conventional MUSIC algorithm while achieving similar performance. By experiments, it is shown that the proposed algorithm despite the low complexity is enable to distinguish the adjacent DOA in a practical environment.
