Summary :

Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of wireless signals is demanded in many applications. In addition to classical methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT, non-linear algorithms such as compressed sensing have become common subjects of study recently. Deep learning or machine learning is also known as a non-linear algorithm and has been applied in various fields. Generally, DOA estimation using deep learning is classified as on-grid estimation. A major problem of on-grid estimation is that the accuracy may be degraded when the DOA is near the boundary. To reduce such estimation errors, we propose a method of combining two DNNs whose grids are offset by one half of the grid size. Simulation results show that our proposal outperforms MUSIC which is a typical off-grid estimation method. Furthermore, it is shown that the DNN specially trained for a close DOA case achieves very high accuracy for that case compared with MUSIC.
