Beamspace processing for DOA estimation offers low computational complexity and high DOA resolution. Moreover, unlike classical beamspace methods, convolutional beamspace (CBS) preserves the Vandermonde structure of uniform linear array output, so no additional preparation is needed to apply root-MU…
Coprime arrays are normally used to identify more sources than sensors, using the coarray domain. They can also be used directly in element-space and still have benefits of better accuracy and resolution compared to ULAs. An invariance is buried in each of the two sparse ULAs which constitute a copr…
The recently introduced convolutional beamspace (CBS) method has some advantages over traditional beamspace methods in array processing. This paper introduces a variant which uses IIR instead of FIR filters in the convolutional layer. In CBS, the sources falling in the stopband are assumed to be suf…
In this study, the infant Cardiac Robotic Surgical System (iCROSS) is developed to assist a surgeon in performing the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure and other infant cardiac surgeries. The iCROSS is a dual-arm robot allowing two surgical instruments to collaborate in a narrow space while kee…
A new method to design the filter for convolutional beamspace (CBS), called Capon-CBS, is proposed. The idea is to design the filter to be a sliding Capon beamformer. Such design takes input statistics into account, so it can do a better job of suppressing the sources that fall in the stopband. Capo…
A new type of beamspace for array processing is introduced called convolutional beamspace. It enjoys the advantages of traditional beamspace such as lower computational complexity, increased parallelism of subband processing, and improved resolution threshold for DOA estimation. But unlike tradition…
