Improving ESPRIT via beamforming

Beamforming techniques are presented that improve the performance of the ESPRIT (estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques) algorithm for solving the narrowband multiple source location problem with uniform linear arrays. Using ESPRIT with these beamforming approaches maintains the computational advantage of the original ESPRIT while further exploiting the special structure of uniform linear arrays. Simulation results show that the use of ESPRIT with beamforming yields significantly improved performance compared with the original ESPRIT. >
