1 Introduction
Direction-of-Arrival (DoA) estimation has important ap-plications in many traditional fields such as smart antennaarray radar signal processing geophysical or seismicsensing acoustics multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)and other applications related to finding the direction of theincoming signals or sources [1ndash4] In fact the DoAsknowledge of receiving signal can be properly used to locatethe corresponding source and the adaptive beamforming ofthe receiving antenna pattern can improve the sensitivity ofthe system to the desired signal direction or suppress un-necessary interference
In some scientific literature several effective method-ologies have been proposed about DoA estimation such asthe multiple signal classification (MUSIC) [5] and the signalestimation parameter via rotational invariance technique(ESPRIT) [6] For the limitations that the need of a prioriknowing the number of incoming signals and the calcu-lation of the correlation matrix are usually computationally
expensive and their standard implementations are rarelyavailable especially nowadays with the huge proliferation ofwireless devicesservices and the presence of non-collaborative users [7] More recently DoA estimationstrategies based on the Compressive Sensing (CS) [8 9] areproposed and have shown promising features and results CSis an enabling paradigm for many applications where there isthe need of overcoming the Shannonrsquos limit in data ac-quisition and to recover sparse signals from far fewermeasurements [10] -anks to these features that thecomputational efficiency the accuracy and the robustness tothe noise CS-based strategies have already been applied to avariety of applications in electromagnetic engineering[11 12] But for guaranteeing reliable estimations thesampling matrix must satisfy the restricted isometry prop-erty (RIP) [13] when applying CS Unfortunately such acondition cannot be easily verified because of it results arecomputationally demanding [14] But innovative ap-proaches using the Bayesian compressive sensing (BCS)[15 16] have been proposed and they have improved this

problem However most of the works about DoA estimationare mainly focused on narrowband signals In [17] thenarrowband algorithm is simply extended to broadband Asfor the DoAs estimation of wideband signals because of theguiding vector of broadband signal frequency the signalspace of different sub-bands is inconsistent which makes itdifficult to separate the signal space from noise spaceGeneral subspace-based estimation techniques [18] basedon the root-MUSIC [19] and maximum likelihood [20] areused to estimate the DoAs of the wideband signal but theyalso have limitations -is problem has been shown in[21 22] where theMT-BCS [23] has been customized to dealwith wideband signals while exploiting the correlationamong different frequency samples taken from singlesnapshot data and multiple snapshots respectively
In this paper the DoAs and BW estimation problem ofwideband signals are formulated within the MT-BCSframework based on Laplace priors Starting from the keyobservation that the wideband signal affecting the antennaarray is essentially sparse in spatial domain Because thesignal is a wideband signal we sample the signal with acertain range of frequencies in order to estimate thebandwidth of the signal Set the sampling frequency range to[fmin fmax] the DoAs and BW are estimated at the sametime by which the range of frequencies has measured data
-e rest of the paper is organized as follows -eBayesian modeling is mathematically formulated in Section2 where the wideband signal model of MT-BCS usingLaplace priors is described A set of representative numericalresults is then reported and discussed in Section 3 wherereference DoAs and bandwidth estimation methods areperformed Finally some conclusions are drawn in Section 4
2 Bayesian Modeling
CS theory can cover certain signals from far fewer samples ormeasurements than traditional methods and it is a veryimportant step to restore the signal we want In some worknarrowband signals are recovered by MT-BCS [24 25] Inthis section a simple MT-BCS model about widebandsignals based on Laplace priors is shown
21 Model for BCS Let us consider a set of K widebandsignals impinging on a planar distribution of N sensors islocated -e DoAs of the signals are denoted asθk k 1 K and operating in the frequency range[fmin fmax] -e voltages collected from the output of thearray elements at P different frequency samples fp fmin +
Δf(2p minus 1)2 p 1 P being Δf (fmax minus fmin)
(P minus 1) -e input data of the problem are the voltagesv

where sk k 1 K is the amplitude of the impingingsignals h is the antenna effective length λ(p) being the free-
space length at pth frequency and η(p)n n 1 N the
contribution of the noise at each sensor-en in order to employ the proposed MTBCS-based
methodology the problem is reformulated by sampling theangular domain of interest over a very fine grid of IgtgtKangular location being θi minus (π2) + π(i minus 1)(I minus 1)

-e results of the same experimental setup with differentSNR are shown in Figures 3(c) and 3(d) Similar per-formance decrease by the increase of SNR can be ob-served -ese suggest that the estimating DoA results canget lower reconstruction error in multiple snapshots andhigher SNR For wideband signals different samplingfrequencies can obtain different reconstruction results-is will have an impact on the accuracy of DoA esti-mation results
In order to obtain better reconstruction performanceswe will add signal energy 1113958s

In Figure 4 the reconstruction DoA results using (18) atdifferent snapshots are shown We have also given esti-mated DoAs and values at pth frequency as shown inTable 2 1113958savg is the average signal energy of all estimatedangles from low to high -e signal energy that shows theunrelated angle is much lower than what we get in the firstset experiments-is shows that using (18) to estimate DoAcan get better reconstruction results than using (16) Wealso can note that as the number of snapshots increasesunrelated angles no longer exist Frequency away from f0still has poor reconstruction results but this is an im-provement after the signal energy of all frequencies isaveraged that is the signal energy of the unrelated anglebecomes smaller
We ignore values less than 01 as in the first set of ex-periments It can be concluded that the DoAs and band-widths of signals form the result shown in Figure 4 andTables 2 and 3 θ1 minus 55 deg and b1 [f1 f5] for s1 andθ2 minus 32deg and b2 [f1 f5] for s2-e estimated result ofsignal bandwidths is shown in Figure 5
4 Conclusion
In this paper we formulated the DoAs and BW-estimatedproblem of the wideband signal using MT-BCS based onLaplace priors and presented a framework for multiplesnapshots data Using this framework we first get the actualand estimated DoAs for multiple snapshots at differentfrequencies At the same time the signal BW is obtained byobserving at which frequency sampling point there is a signalenergy after ignoring values that are small enough -en weuse the RMSE to evaluate the reconstruction results indifferent snapshots and SNRs finding with the increasing ofsnapshots or SNR the reconstruction results are better

problem However most of the works about DoA estimationare mainly focused on narrowband signals In [17] thenarrowband algorithm is simply extended to broadband Asfor the DoAs estimation of wideband signals because of theguiding vector of broadband signal frequency the signalspace of different sub-bands is inconsistent which makes itdifficult to separate the signal space from noise spaceGeneral subspace-based estimation techniques [18] basedon the root-MUSIC [19] and maximum likelihood [20] areused to estimate the DoAs of the wideband signal but theyalso have limitations -is problem has been shown in[21 22] where theMT-BCS [23] has been customized to dealwith wideband signals while exploiting the correlationamong different frequency samples taken from singlesnapshot data and multiple snapshots respectively
In this paper the DoAs and BW estimation problem ofwideband signals are formulated within the MT-BCSframework based on Laplace priors Starting from the keyobservation that the wideband signal affecting the antennaarray is essentially sparse in spatial domain Because thesignal is a wideband signal we sample the signal with acertain range of frequencies in order to estimate thebandwidth of the signal Set the sampling frequency range to[fmin fmax] the DoAs and BW are estimated at the sametime by which the range of frequencies has measured data
-e rest of the paper is organized as follows -eBayesian modeling is mathematically formulated in Section2 where the wideband signal model of MT-BCS usingLaplace priors is described A set of representative numericalresults is then reported and discussed in Section 3 wherereference DoAs and bandwidth estimation methods areperformed Finally some conclusions are drawn in Section 4
2 Bayesian Modeling
CS theory can cover certain signals from far fewer samples ormeasurements than traditional methods and it is a veryimportant step to restore the signal we want In some worknarrowband signals are recovered by MT-BCS [24 25] Inthis section a simple MT-BCS model about widebandsignals based on Laplace priors is shown
21 Model for BCS Let us consider a set of K widebandsignals impinging on a planar distribution of N sensors islocated -e DoAs of the signals are denoted asθk k 1 K and operating in the frequency range[fmin fmax] -e voltages collected from the output of thearray elements at P different frequency samples fp fmin +
Δf(2p minus 1)2 p 1 P being Δf (fmax minus fmin)
(P minus 1) -e input data of the problem are the voltagesv
(p)n n 1 N measured by each sensor expressed as
v(p)n 1113944

j 2πλ(p)( )xn sin θk + η(p)n n 1 N
(1)
where sk k 1 K is the amplitude of the impingingsignals h is the antenna effective length λ(p) being the free-
space length at pth frequency and η(p)n n 1 N the
contribution of the noise at each sensor-en in order to employ the proposed MTBCS-based
methodology the problem is reformulated by sampling theangular domain of interest over a very fine grid of IgtgtKangular location being θi minus (π2) + π(i minus 1)(I minus 1)
i 1 2 I Under this assumption and considering themultiple-snapshots case (1) can be rewritten in a matrixform as

where L is the number of snapshots s(p)
l is the vector ofestimated signals Φ(p)(θ) ΨA(p)(θ) Ψ isin RMtimesN is themeasurement matrix we will use the Gaussian matrix in thispaper andM (Mltlt I) is the number of samples [16] A(p) isthe matrix of array manifold

3 Numerical Results
In this section we present experimental results thatdemonstrate the performance of MT-BCS based on
Laplace priors to recovery wideband signals Differentfrom narrow narrowband signals the wideband signalexists only when sampling frequency fp is within therange of bandwidth
We use the following default setup in the experimentalresults reported in this section Signal matrix of length I isgenerated where K coefficients are located at signal ran-domly and the rest (I-K) of the coefficients are set equal tozero As the measurement matrix Ψ we chose a Gaussianmatrix where the columns ψi are Gaussian distributed onthe sphere RI Moreover we present results with noisy

-e results of the same experimental setup with differentSNR are shown in Figures 3(c) and 3(d) Similar per-formance decrease by the increase of SNR can be ob-served -ese suggest that the estimating DoA results canget lower reconstruction error in multiple snapshots andhigher SNR For wideband signals different samplingfrequencies can obtain different reconstruction results-is will have an impact on the accuracy of DoA esti-mation results
In order to obtain better reconstruction performanceswe will add signal energy 1113958s

In Figure 4 the reconstruction DoA results using (18) atdifferent snapshots are shown We have also given esti-mated DoAs and values at pth frequency as shown inTable 2 1113958savg is the average signal energy of all estimatedangles from low to high -e signal energy that shows theunrelated angle is much lower than what we get in the firstset experiments-is shows that using (18) to estimate DoAcan get better reconstruction results than using (16) Wealso can note that as the number of snapshots increasesunrelated angles no longer exist Frequency away from f0still has poor reconstruction results but this is an im-provement after the signal energy of all frequencies isaveraged that is the signal energy of the unrelated anglebecomes smaller
We ignore values less than 01 as in the first set of ex-periments It can be concluded that the DoAs and band-widths of signals form the result shown in Figure 4 andTables 2 and 3 θ1 minus 55 deg and b1 [f1 f5] for s1 andθ2 minus 32deg and b2 [f1 f5] for s2-e estimated result ofsignal bandwidths is shown in Figure 5
4 Conclusion
In this paper we formulated the DoAs and BW-estimatedproblem of the wideband signal using MT-BCS based onLaplace priors and presented a framework for multiplesnapshots data Using this framework we first get the actualand estimated DoAs for multiple snapshots at differentfrequencies At the same time the signal BW is obtained byobserving at which frequency sampling point there is a signalenergy after ignoring values that are small enough -en weuse the RMSE to evaluate the reconstruction results indifferent snapshots and SNRs finding with the increasing ofsnapshots or SNR the reconstruction results are better

3 Numerical Results
In this section we present experimental results thatdemonstrate the performance of MT-BCS based on
Laplace priors to recovery wideband signals Differentfrom narrow narrowband signals the wideband signalexists only when sampling frequency fp is within therange of bandwidth

-e results of the same experimental setup with differentSNR are shown in Figures 3(c) and 3(d) Similar per-formance decrease by the increase of SNR can be ob-served -ese suggest that the estimating DoA results canget lower reconstruction error in multiple snapshots andhigher SNR For wideband signals different samplingfrequencies can obtain different reconstruction results-is will have an impact on the accuracy of DoA esti-mation results
In order to obtain better reconstruction performanceswe will add signal energy 1113958s

In Figure 4 the reconstruction DoA results using (18) atdifferent snapshots are shown We have also given esti-mated DoAs and values at pth frequency as shown inTable 2 1113958savg is the average signal energy of all estimatedangles from low to high -e signal energy that shows theunrelated angle is much lower than what we get in the firstset experiments-is shows that using (18) to estimate DoAcan get better reconstruction results than using (16) Wealso can note that as the number of snapshots increasesunrelated angles no longer exist Frequency away from f0still has poor reconstruction results but this is an im-provement after the signal energy of all frequencies isaveraged that is the signal energy of the unrelated anglebecomes smaller
We ignore values less than 01 as in the first set of ex-periments It can be concluded that the DoAs and band-widths of signals form the result shown in Figure 4 andTables 2 and 3 θ1 minus 55 deg and b1 [f1 f5] for s1 andθ2 minus 32deg and b2 [f1 f5] for s2-e estimated result ofsignal bandwidths is shown in Figure 5
4 Conclusion
In this paper we formulated the DoAs and BW-estimatedproblem of the wideband signal using MT-BCS based onLaplace priors and presented a framework for multiplesnapshots data Using this framework we first get the actualand estimated DoAs for multiple snapshots at differentfrequencies At the same time the signal BW is obtained byobserving at which frequency sampling point there is a signalenergy after ignoring values that are small enough -en weuse the RMSE to evaluate the reconstruction results indifferent snapshots and SNRs finding with the increasing ofsnapshots or SNR the reconstruction results are better

In order to obtain better reconstruction performanceswe will add signal energy 1113958s

In Figure 4 the reconstruction DoA results using (18) atdifferent snapshots are shown We have also given esti-mated DoAs and values at pth frequency as shown inTable 2 1113958savg is the average signal energy of all estimatedangles from low to high -e signal energy that shows theunrelated angle is much lower than what we get in the firstset experiments-is shows that using (18) to estimate DoAcan get better reconstruction results than using (16) Wealso can note that as the number of snapshots increasesunrelated angles no longer exist Frequency away from f0still has poor reconstruction results but this is an im-provement after the signal energy of all frequencies isaveraged that is the signal energy of the unrelated anglebecomes smaller
We ignore values less than 01 as in the first set of ex-periments It can be concluded that the DoAs and band-widths of signals form the result shown in Figure 4 andTables 2 and 3 θ1 minus 55 deg and b1 [f1 f5] for s1 andθ2 minus 32deg and b2 [f1 f5] for s2-e estimated result ofsignal bandwidths is shown in Figure 5
4 Conclusion
In this paper we formulated the DoAs and BW-estimatedproblem of the wideband signal using MT-BCS based onLaplace priors and presented a framework for multiplesnapshots data Using this framework we first get the actualand estimated DoAs for multiple snapshots at differentfrequencies At the same time the signal BW is obtained byobserving at which frequency sampling point there is a signalenergy after ignoring values that are small enough -en weuse the RMSE to evaluate the reconstruction results indifferent snapshots and SNRs finding with the increasing ofsnapshots or SNR the reconstruction results are better

-e results of the same experimental setup with differentSNR are shown in Figures 3(c) and 3(d) Similar per-formance decrease by the increase of SNR can be ob-served -ese suggest that the estimating DoA results canget lower reconstruction error in multiple snapshots andhigher SNR For wideband signals different samplingfrequencies can obtain different reconstruction results-is will have an impact on the accuracy of DoA esti-mation results
In order to obtain better reconstruction performanceswe will add signal energy 1113958s
pavg in (16) at different frequencies
of the same signal and average it and then get 1113958savg (16) canbe rewritten as follows

In Figure 4 the reconstruction DoA results using (18) atdifferent snapshots are shown We have also given esti-mated DoAs and values at pth frequency as shown inTable 2 1113958savg is the average signal energy of all estimatedangles from low to high -e signal energy that shows theunrelated angle is much lower than what we get in the firstset experiments-is shows that using (18) to estimate DoAcan get better reconstruction results than using (16) Wealso can note that as the number of snapshots increasesunrelated angles no longer exist Frequency away from f0still has poor reconstruction results but this is an im-provement after the signal energy of all frequencies isaveraged that is the signal energy of the unrelated anglebecomes smaller
We ignore values less than 01 as in the first set of ex-periments It can be concluded that the DoAs and band-widths of signals form the result shown in Figure 4 andTables 2 and 3 θ1 minus 55 deg and b1 [f1 f5] for s1 andθ2 minus 32deg and b2 [f1 f5] for s2-e estimated result ofsignal bandwidths is shown in Figure 5
4 Conclusion
In this paper we formulated the DoAs and BW-estimatedproblem of the wideband signal using MT-BCS based onLaplace priors and presented a framework for multiplesnapshots data Using this framework we first get the actualand estimated DoAs for multiple snapshots at differentfrequencies At the same time the signal BW is obtained byobserving at which frequency sampling point there is a signalenergy after ignoring values that are small enough -en weuse the RMSE to evaluate the reconstruction results indifferent snapshots and SNRs finding with the increasing ofsnapshots or SNR the reconstruction results are better
