Abstract:
Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) estimation is a fundamental nonlinear parameter estimation problem for various IoT applications. As an important metric for evaluating estimation accuracy, mean squared error (MSE) lower bound has attracted great research interest over the past few decades. Since the 1980s, the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) has been widely adopted, which only guarantees asymptotic tightness. In contrast, the Ziv-Zakai bound (ZZB) has global tightness, which is appropriate for a single-source DOA estimation only. In this talk, we introduce the closed-form solution of ZZB for multi-source DOA estimation. Specifically, we give a generalization from single-source ZZB to multi-source scenario, and analyze the effect of the ordering process required by MSE calculation on the MSE convergence in the a priori performance region. The provided ZZB for multi-source coherent/non-coherent DOA estimation realizes global tightness by formulatng as a linear combination between the CRB and the a priori bound (APB).
