Direction finding in the presence of mutual coupling

An eigenstructure-based method for direction finding in the presence of sensor mutual coupling, gain, and phase uncertainties is presented. The method provides estimates of the directions-of-arrival (DOA) of all the radiating sources as well as calibration of the gain and phase of each sensor and the mutual coupling in the receiving array. The proposed algorithm is able to calibrate the array parameters without prior knowledge of the array manifold, using only signals of opportunity and avoiding the need for deploying auxiliary sources at known locations. The algorithm is described in detail, and its behavior is illustrated by numerical examples. >
