An improved cyclic beamforming method for signal DOA estimation

Modulated signals used in telecommunication are cyclostationary. This property can be exploited to improve the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation performance. In this work, we propose an improved cyclic beamforming algorithm exploiting cyclostationarity. The proposed method exploits the information of both cyclic correlation matrix and cyclic conjugate correlation matrix with different cyclic frequencies. Compared with the existing methods, the simulation results show that proposed method improves substantially the signal selectivity; also it allows an increase in resolution power.
