RSS-Based DoA Estimation in 802.11p Frequency Band Using ESPAR Antenna and PPCC-MCP Method

In this paper, the concept of direction of arrival (DoA) estimation using electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR) antenna designed to operate in IEEE 802.11p vehicular communication standard has been investigated with respect to different possible elevation angles of a radio frequency (RF) signal impinging the antenna. To this end, two different possible sets of the 3D antenna radiation patterns have been used together with power-pattern cross-correlation (PPCC) algorithm and its extension that covers multiple calibration planes (PPCCMCP). Numerical simulations of the PPCC and PPCC-MCP angle estimation procedures at 5.89 GHz have been performed to verify the overall DoA estimation accuracies in the horizontal plane for different, and unknown at the moment of estimation, elevation angles.
