gold-MUSIC based DOA estimation using ULA antenna of DS-CDMA sources with propagation delay diversity

Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation using gold-MUSIC is achieved for Uniform Linear Array (ULA) antenna based Direct-Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) sources having different Propagation Delay. The DOA is estimated by different MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) algorithms for M signal sources with Phase Shift Keying (PSK) transmission in presence of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Spatial spectrum, computational efficiency and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of DOA estimation using gold-MUSIC over MUSIC and Root-MUSIC algorithms are studied meticulously. The effects of number of ULA elements, Data length and arrival angle on RMSE of DOA are also conferred here.
