DOA Estimation Based on LSTM Neural Network with Uniform Linear Antenna Array

Abstract

Radio Direction Finding system is a system that determines the direction or coordinates of radio signal sources. The main function of this system is to determine the direction of arrival (DOA) of an incident radio wave. DOA information plays an important role in array signal processing and has many applications in communications, radar, seismic survey... In this paper, with the simulated signal data set obtained at the linear antenna array (ULA), the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network model is used to estimate the DOA. The performance of the method is evaluated based on the RMSE parameter and compared with MUSIC, DNN algorithms in different cases such as: deviation of incident angle of radiation sources, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
