UTILIZATION OF CLONAL SELECTION ALGORITHM IN PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF UNITARY CAPON METHOD

Abstract

In this paper, the Clonal Selection Algorithm (CSA) is presented for extraction the direction of arrival of the several signals impinging on uniform linear arrays using a very efficient computational procedure in which the complexity of the computation can be reduced significantly by using a unitary Capon method. Using this method with CSA will enable to expect not only the higher computation efficiency but also the higher estimation accuracy of the direction of arrival angles of incident signals. A good performance was demonstrated via a number of numerical examples by using environment of Matlab 2009a program to examine the effect a number of sensor and number of signal snapshots on performance of the unitary Capon method based on the CSA.
