Optimized Intelligent Algorithm Array Signal Processing

Array signal processing plays a crucial role in modern communication and radar systems, where algorithms like MUSIC and ESPRIT serve as classical parameter estimation methods. These intelligent algorithms achieve high-precision Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation by optimizing the processing of signal subspaces through sophisticated mathematical implementations.

The MUSIC algorithm is the most representative subspace-based method that leverages the orthogonality between signal and noise subspaces to achieve super-resolution direction finding through spectral peak search. Its core implementation involves performing eigenvalue decomposition on the covariance matrix of received data, then constructing a spatial spectrum function for azimuth estimation. In MATLAB, this typically requires functions like 'eig()' for eigenvalue decomposition and proper array manifold matrix construction.

The ESPRIT algorithm employs the rotational invariance principle to avoid the spectral peak search step required in MUSIC, resulting in reduced computational complexity. It utilizes the translational invariant structure of arrays to directly solve generalized eigenvalue problems for signal parameter extraction. Code implementation often involves matrix partitioning and solving eigenvalue equations using built-in MATLAB functions.

Root-MUSIC is the polynomial root-finding variant of the MUSIC algorithm that transforms spectral peak searching into polynomial root-solving, significantly improving computational efficiency. This method is particularly suitable for uniform linear array DOA estimation, where implementation requires polynomial root calculation using functions like 'roots()' in MATLAB.

Two-dimensional angle estimation in planar arrays presents greater challenges. The Unitary-ESPRIT algorithm introduces real-valued processing techniques that not only reduce computational complexity but also enhance parameter pairing accuracy. It employs dual parallel linear array structures to simultaneously estimate elevation and azimuth angles, with implementation involving real-valued transformations and structured matrix operations.

Implementing these algorithms in MATLAB requires careful attention to key steps including array manifold matrix construction, covariance matrix estimation, and eigenvalue decomposition. Modern intelligent optimization methods can be integrated with these classical algorithms to further improve their performance under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions and coherent signal scenarios, often involving optimization toolbox functions and custom algorithm integration.
