    摘要: Array elements 111-1 to 111-n of array antenna 101 are arranged at respective different heights from a ground so as not to overlap to each other in a vertical direction. Received frequency conversion section 102 converts a radio frequency signal received at each of the array elements 111-1 to 111-n of array antenna 101 into an intermediate frequency signal or baseband signal. A/D conversion section 103 converts an analog signal output from received frequency conversion section 102 into a digital signal using a proper sampling frequency. Direction estimating section 105 estimates directions of an arrival radio signal in a horizontal plane and vertical plane using received digital signals obtained in A/D conversion section 103. It is thereby possible to suppress increases in the number of array elements and computation amount, and to improve estimation accuracy in the vertical direction and resolution at the time a plurality of signals arrive.

    摘要: A direction of arrival (DOA) estimation apparatus of the present invention comprises a plurality of A/D converters that converts a plurality of complex base band signal obtained from the receiving signals of a plurality of antenna elements to respective complex digital signals, a plurality of low pass filters that outputs complex low pass signals with attenuated high frequency components of respective complex digital signals, a plurality of down samplers that outputs complex down sampled and multiplied signals by down sampling the complex low pass signals and multiplying by integral number of sampling intervals of respective A/D converters, and a data transfer section that stores respective complex down sampled signal thus obtained from respective antenna elements temporary and then transfers the data. A variable directional signal receiving and transmitting apparatus of the present invention performs an antenna directivity control based on the output data from the above data transfer section. With the composition of the present invention, an amount of data required for a DOA estimation process section is decreased and a composition of a data transfer section is simplified. With the composition of the present invention, a deterioration of an accuracy of direction estimation becomes minimum despite the simplification of the apparatus. Furthermore, a favorable receiving and transmitting quality is obtained by applying the DOA estimation apparatus for a transmitting and receiving apparatus.

    摘要: A radio-wave arrival-direction apparatus calculates a correlation matrix of received signals by correlation calculation between antenna elements, and calculates a noise spatial eigenmatrix, of which each row or column is an eigenvector belonging to a noise eigen-space, by eigenvalue factorization of the correlation matrix. The apparatus also factorizes a matrix including a product of the noise spatial eigenmatrix and a conjugated and transposed matrix of it to an upper or lower triangular matrix, using cholesky factorization. The apparatus calculates an angle evaluation value in a predetermined angle range of an arrival-angle evaluation function using the derived upper or lower triangular matrix, and determines an arrival angle based on the calculation result. A calculation amount in a variable angle range can be thus reduced without causing accuracy degradation of arrival direction, in an algorism requiring an angle sweep for arrival angle estimation of MUSIC method or the like.
