Abstract
Direction-of-arrival estimation performance of MUSIC and maximum-likelihood estimation in the so-called ldquothresholdrdquo area is analyzed by means of general statistical analysis (GSA) (also known as random matrix theory). Both analytic predictions and direct Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the well-known MUSIC-specific ldquoperformance breakdownrdquo is associated with the loss of resolution capability in the MUSIC pseudo-spectrum, while the sample signal subspace is still reliably separated from the actual noise subspace. Significant distinctions between (MUSIC/G-MUSIC)-specific and MLE-intrinsic causes of ldquoperformance breakdown,rdquo as well as the role of ldquosubspace swaprdquo phenomena, are specified analytically and supported by simulation.
