Study of the direction of arrival estimation on antenna array signals in uplink of wide-band CDMA system

Based on the study of antenna array applied to wide band CDMA systems, MUSIC (multiple signal classification) and second order ESPRIT (estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques) algorithm are employed in the estimation of direction of arrival of the strongest signals. A novel pilot aided algorithm is proposed for the direction of arrival estimation of received signals, which uses the feature of the convergence of the antenna array to trace the direction of the desired signal correctly and the result can be applied to the calculation of the weight of the downlink beamforming. Simulation results show that the new algorithm achieves a better estimation accuracy when compared with the MUSIC and second order ESPRIT algorithms on the condition of the convergence of the antenna array under the multipath environment.
