Direction-of-Arrival Estimation for Coherent Sources via Sparse Bayesian Learning by Zhang-Meng Liu, Zheng Liu, Dao-Wang Feng, Zhi-Tao Huang

“…The RVM is used to exploit the spatial sparsity of the incident signals and gain improved adaptability to much demanding scenarios, such as low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), limited snapshots, and spatially adjacent sources, and the spatial filters are introduced to enhance global convergence of the original RVM in the case of coherent sources. …”
