CNN-Transformer with Sigmoid Label Enhances DOA Estimation Accuracy

Researchers have developed a novel deep learning approach for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation, aiming to overcome limitations in grid quantization error. Their method utilizes a CNN-Transformer network with a proposed sigmoid label, which encodes DOAs as a sum of angle-shifted sigmoid functions. This technique, when combined with a refined grid step, achieves sub-degree accuracy and a 1-degree resolution, outperforming traditional Gaussian and binary cross-entropy labels. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more precise signal localization in various applications, including advanced antenna systems.

    CNN-Transformer with Sigmoid Label for High-Resolution Sub-Degree DOA Estimation

    arXiv:2610.13433v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper addresses the grid quantization error of deep-learning (DL)-based direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. Classification- based DOA methods discretize the continuous angular space into a grid, so that with a peak-based r…
