Abstract: An improved Toeplitz decorrelation algorithm (MODE-TDM) is proposed for the DOA estimation of coherent signals on a Uniform Circular Array (UCA). Firstly, the mode excitation method is used to tran- sform the UCA in element space into a virtual ULA (VULA) in mode space. Then using every row elements and corresponding every column elements of array covariance matrix of VULA to construct two Toeplitz matrixes, a new covariance matrix is obtained taking average these two matrixes. This process is equivalent to the forward-backward smoothing technology and reduces the influence of the array error and noise. Lastly, combined with ESPRIT algorithm, it is capable of resolving the DOAs of coherent signals without peak searching. Theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate this algorithm has better performance and less estimated time compared with conventional MODE-FBSS algorithm and MODE-TOEP algorithm.
