Time Delay Estimation from Low Rate Samples: A Union of Subspaces Approach
Time delay estimation arises in many applications in which a multipath medium
has to be identified from pulses transmitted through the channel. Various
approaches have been proposed in the literature to identify time delays
introduced by multipath environments. However, these methods either operate on
the analog received signal, or require high sampling rates in order to achieve
reasonable time resolution. In this paper, our goal is to develop a unified
approach to time delay estimation from low rate samples of the output of a
multipath channel. Our methods result in perfect recovery of the multipath
delays from samples of the channel output at the lowest possible rate, even in
the presence of overlapping transmitted pulses. This rate depends only on the
number of multipath components and the transmission rate, but not on the
bandwidth of the probing signal. In addition, our development allows for a
variety of different sampling methods. By properly manipulating the low-rate
samples, we show that the time delays can be recovered using the well-known
ESPRIT algorithm. Combining results from sampling theory with those obtained in
the context of direction of arrival estimation methods, we develop necessary
and sufficient conditions on the transmitted pulse and the sampling functions
in order to ensure perfect recovery of the channel parameters at the minimal
possible rate. Our results can be viewed in a broader context, as a sampling
theorem for analog signals defined over an infinite union of subspaces
Performance Analysis of the Decentralized Eigendecomposition and ESPRIT Algorithm
In this paper, we consider performance analysis of the decentralized power
method for the eigendecomposition of the sample covariance matrix based on the
averaging consensus protocol. An analytical expression of the second order
statistics of the eigenvectors obtained from the decentralized power method
which is required for computing the mean square error (MSE) of subspace-based
estimators is presented. We show that the decentralized power method is not an
asymptotically consistent estimator of the eigenvectors of the true measurement
covariance matrix unless the averaging consensus protocol is carried out over
an infinitely large number of iterations. Moreover, we introduce the
decentralized ESPRIT algorithm which yields fully decentralized
direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimates. Based on the performance analysis of the
decentralized power method, we derive an analytical expression of the MSE of
DOA estimators using the decentralized ESPRIT algorithm. The validity of our
asymptotic results is demonstrated by simulations.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures, submitted for publication in IEEE Transactions

Comparative study between Direction of arrival for wide band & narrow band Signal using Music Algorithm
Direction of arrival is a key parameter in array signal processing. It is one of the important problem in field such as sonar, radar and wireless communication. Traditional DOA estimation algorithm consists of large no of snapshot and are not reliable in application such as underwater array processing. There are many sources such as seismic wave ,acoustic signals, speech and signal processing which is wide band signal and estimation parameters such as snapshot ,side lobes, resolution is an important task. In the recent advancement of technology wide band signal are more favoured over narrow band signals. Wide band signal are able to estimate DoAs efficiently with less side lobes and snapshots. In this paper a comparative analysis of direction of arrival for wide band and narrow band by analysing angular spectrum of MUSIC algorithm. We will estimate the position of spectral with different scanning grid size. We will search the spectral peak position and estimates final DOA Therefore it become important to study and analyzed wide band signal specially application such as 5G m-MIMO systems
