Robust Semiparametric DOA Estimation in non-Gaussian Environment

A general non-Gaussian semiparametric model is adopted to characterize the measurement vectors, i.e.\ the \textit{snapshots}, collected by a linear array. Moreover, the recently derived \textit{robust semiparametric efficient} $R$-estimator of the data covariance matrix is exploited to implement an original version of the MUSIC estimator. The efficiency of the resulting $R$-MUSIC algorithm is investigated by comparing its Mean Squared Error (MSE) in the estimation of the source spatial frequencies with the relevant Semiparametric Stochastic Cramér-Rao Bound (SSCRB).
