Abstract

This paper investigates the challenging problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in impulsive noise and presents a fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm (FISTA)-based approach to tackle the difficulty. More specifically, the underlying noise is modelled as the superposition of outliers in the white Gaussian noise. Leveraging on the spot-sparse characteristic of the outlier matrix, the FISTA is conducted on each snapshot of the array output. With the estimated outlier matrix and the coarse on-grid DOA estimates, an alternating optimization method is developed to retrieve the final off-grid DOA estimates. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods in terms of resolution capability and estimation accuracy especially in severe noise environments.
