Blind Direction of Angle and Time Delay Estimation Algorithm for Uniform Linear Array Employing Multi-Invariance MUSIC

This paper addresses the problem of direction of arrival and time delay estimation, and derives multi-invariance MUSIC (MI- MUSIC) algorithm therein. The proposed MI-MUSIC, which only requires one-dimension searching, can avoid the high computational cost within two-dimension MUSIC (2D-MUSIC) algorithm. It means that MI-MUSIC algorithm has better performance than that of ESPRIT and MUSIC, and also can be viewed as a generalization of MUSIC. Simulation results verify the usefulness of our algorithm.
