ABSTRACT

In this letter, a generic search grid generation algorithm for far-field source localization (SL) is proposed. Since conventional uniform regular grid structures only consider the resolution of the distribution, it is difficult to control the number of grid points to be distributed. The proposed algorithm generates a search grid by distributing a desired number of points evenly, depending on the target criterion, in either direction of arrival or time difference of arrival domain. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm provides optimally distributed grid points given the number of desired points and the corresponding domain for SL processing.
