DOA estimation method for wideband signals by block sparse reconstruction

For the direction of arrival（DOA） estimation,traditional sparse reconstruction methods for wideband signals usually need many iteration times.For this problem,a new method for two-dimensional wideband signals based on block sparse reconstruction is proposed.First,a prolate spheroidal wave function（PSWF） is used to fit the wideband signals,then the block sparse reconstruction technology is employed for DOA estimation.The proposed method uses orthogonalization to choose the matching atoms,ensuring that the residual components correspond to the minimum absolute value.Meanwhile,the vectors obtained by iteration are back-disposed according to the corresponding atomic matching rules,so the extra atoms are abandoned in the course of iteration,and the residual components of current iteration are reduced.Thus the original sparse signals are reconstructed.The proposed method reduces iteration times comparing with the traditional reconstruction methods,and the estimation precision is better than the classical two-sided correlation transformation（TCT）algorithm when the snapshot is small or the signal-to-noise ratio（SNR） is low.

A sharp recovery condition for block sparse signals by block orthogonal multi-matching pursuit

We consider the block orthogonal multi-matching pursuit(BOMMP) algorithm for the recovery of block sparse signals.A sharp condition is obtained for the exact reconstruction of block K-sparse signals via the BOMMP algorithm in the noiseless case,based on the block restricted isometry constant(block-RIC).Moreover,we show that the sharp condition combining with an extra condition on the minimum l_2 norm of nonzero blocks of block K-sparse signals is sufficient to ensure the BOMMP algorithm selects at least one true block index at each iteration until all true block indices are selected in the noisy case.The significance of the results we obtain in this paper lies in the fact that making explicit use of block sparsity of block sparse signals can achieve better recovery performance than ignoring the additional structure in the problem as being in the conventional sense.
