Abstract:
Frequency-wavenumber (f-k) analysis can estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) of broadband signals received on a vertical array. When the vertical array configuration is sparse, it results in an aliasing error due to spatial sampling; thus, several striation patterns can emerge in the f-k domain. This paper extends the f-k analysis to a sparse receiver-array, wherein a multitude of sidelobes prevent resolving the DOA estimates due to spatial aliasing. The frequency difference-wavenumber (Δf-k) analysis is developed by adopting the concept of frequency difference, and demonstrated its performance of DOA estimation to a sparse receiver array. Experimental results verify the robustness of the proposed Δf-k analysis in the estimation of the DOA of cracking sounds generated by the snapping shrimps, which were recorded by a sparse vertical array configuration during the shallow water experiment.
