Abstract
We study the problem of wideband direction of arrival (DoA) estimation by joint optimisation of array and spatial sparsity. Two-step iterative process is proposed. In the first step, the wideband signal is reshaped and used as the input to derive the weight coefficients using a sparse array optimisation method. The weights are then used to scale the observed signal model for which a compressive sensing based spatial sparsity optimisation method is used for DoA estimation. Simulations are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method for both stationary and moving sources.
