Abstract

The paper presents a new algorithm for a 2-dimensionnal direction of arrival estimation. Based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF), we analyse a recursive procedure for 2-dimensional directions of arrival (DOA) estimation and we will employ the two-L-shape arrays. A new space-variable model which we call a spatial state equation is presented using array element locations and incident angles. In this paper we briefly recapitulate the most important features of the extended Kalman filter (EKF). The performance of the proposed approach is examined by a simulation study with three signals model. The simulation results show a good estimate performance.
