Project DetailsThe direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation has been widely applied in radar, sonar, and wireless communications. It refers to the process of retrieving the direction information of several signals from the outputs of several receiving antennas that form a sensor array. Various DOA estimation algorithms have been proposed for this purpose. Such as MUSIC and Beamforming, these are one of the recognized algorithms for DOA estimation that have a good performance when applied on sources that are far enough from the antennas (far field). These algorithms and most of the DOA estimation algorithms use the far field assumption in order to work as intended. In this work, we propose an improved algorithm for MUSIC and Beamforming for DOA estimation at near field and compared its performance to that of the original algorithms.
