An Application of Artificial Intelligence for the Joint Estimation of Amplitude and Two-Dimensional Direction of Arrival of Far Field Sources Using 2-L-Shape Array

Abstract

An easy and efficient approach, based on artificial intelligence technique, is proposed to jointly estimate the amplitude, elevation, and azimuth angles of far field sources impinging on 2-L-shape array. In these proposed artificial intelligence techniques, the metaheuristics based on genetic algorithm and simulated annealing are used as global optimizers assisted with rapid local version of pattern search for optimization of the adaptive parameters. The performance metric is employed on a fitness evaluation function depending on mean square error which is optimum and requires single snapshot to converge. The proposed approaches are easy to understand, and simple to implement; the genetic algorithm specifically hybridized with pattern search generates fairly good results. The comparison of the given schemes is carried out with 1-L-shape array, as well as, with parallel-shape array and is found to be in good agreement in terms of accuracy, convergence rate, computational complexity, and mean square error. The effectiveness and efficiency of the given schemes are examined through Monte Carlo simulations and their inclusive statistical analysis.

An Improved PSO Algorithm for Direction Finding with Tetrahedral-based USBL System

“…Evolutionary algorithms are swarm-based intelligent optimization methods, some of which have been studied for DOA estimation and positioning. Zaman et al [14,15] proposed a Genetic Algorithm (GA) hybridized with pattern search for the joint amplitude and DOA estimation using a special array of L-type shape. Lui et al [16] used Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to locate the signal source based on TDOA measurement.…”
