In order to improve the performance of projection approximation subspace tracking (PAST) algorithm under impulsive noise environment
based on Alpha stable distribution as the impulsive noise model
a new cost function is proposed using the robust m-estimation method and then the robust PAST algorithm (RLM
-
PAST) is deducted based on the recursive least m-estimate.Because the robust m-estimation function suitable for the Alpha stable noise model is used
the proposed algorithm offers good performance against impulsive noise over the PAST algorithm in direction of arrival (DOA ) estimation.The simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
