Performance comparison of subspace rotation and MUSIC methods for direction estimation

Studies the statistical performance of subspace rotation (SR) methods (such as TAM and a variant of ESPRIT) for direction estimation using arrays composed of matched sensor doublets. The distributional properties of these methods are established and a compact explicit formula for the covariance matrix of their estimation errors is provided. It is shown that the SR methods are statistically less efficient than MUSIC, at least for a sufficiently large number of snapshots. The difference in statistical performance between the commonly used SR method and MUSIC may be substantial if the number of sensors in the array is large. An optimally-weighted SR method which may approach the MUSIC level of statistical performance for one direction parameter (specified by the user) is introduced.<<ETX>>
