Abstract

In this paper, we present an entropy based approach for DOA estimation in Gaussian and non-Gaussian environments. The DOA estimates are obtained by minimizing an entropy measure of the array data in the noise sub-space. We show that the entropy approach leads to the MAP algorithm under the Gaussian assumption. Under the non-Gaussian assumption, we apply the varimax norm as an information measure. An intuitive consistency analysis is also performed. Computer simulations are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
