Abstract: In this paper, we propose two spectral cyclic MUSIC DOA estimation algorithms for wideband cyclostationary signals: the wideband spectral cyclic conjugate MUSIC (WSCCM) algorithm and the extended wideband spectral cyclic MUSIC (EWSCM) algorithm. The proposed algorithms can be applied to estimate the spectral cyclic conjugate correlation matrix and the extended spectral cyclic correlation matrix of wideband cyclostationary signals. The presented algorithms do not require any knowledge of the optimal time lag parameter, which appears in the similar algorithms in time domain. In the proposed algorithms, the DOAs are estimated at each spectral component of the selected frequency band for a cyclic frequency of interest. This can be used to form the azimuth – cyclic frequency diagram, similar to the azimuth – frequency diagram in wideband direction-finding systems. Some simulation results are provided to confirm the theoretical findings.
