摘要
An interpretation for the use of cumulants in narrowband array processing problems is proposed, It is shown how fourth-order cumulants of multichannel observations increase the directional information compared with second-order statistics. Based on the interpretation, it is shown how cumulants can be used to increase the effective aperture of an arbitrary antenna array, The amount of partial information necessary to jointly calibrate an arbitrary array and estimate the directions of farfield sources is also investigated. It is proven that the presence of a doublet and use of fourth-order cumulants is sufficient to accomplish this task, The proposed approach is computationally efficient and more general than covariance-based algorithms that have addressed the calibration problem under constraints, A class of beamforming techniques is proposed to recover the source waveforms, Proposed estimation procedures are based on cumulants, which bring insensitivity to the spatial correlation structure of additive Gaussian measurement noise, Simulations are provided to illustrate the use of the proposed algorithms.
