%0 Journal Article %T DOA Estimation Using Time-Frequency Conversion Pre-Processing Method %A Sang-Tae Kim %A Ji-Tae Kim %A Y.-S. Choi %J PIER C %D 2011 %I EMW Publishing %R 10.2528/PIERC11061504 %X In many cases, the study of DOA estimation techniques is developed based on ideal condition of signal sources and array sensor antennas. But, there are much more errors as a result of signal shadow effects from noise contribution and interference of installation environment in real system. In this paper, the DOA estimation algorithm using the de-noising pre-processing based on time-frequency conversion analysis was proposed, and the performance was analyzed. This is focused on the improvement of DOA estimation at a lower SNR and interference environment. %U http://www.jpier.org/pierc/pier.php?paper=11061504
