Abstract
For pt.I, see ibid., vol.40, no.7, p.1758-74 (1992). In pt.I the performance of the MUSIC algorithms for narrowband direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation when the array manifold and noise covariance are not correctly modeled was investigated. This analysis is extended to multidimensional subspace-based algorithms including deterministic (or conditional) maximum likelihood, MD-MUSIC, weighted subspace fitting (WSF), MODE, and ESPRIT. A general expression for the variance of the DOA estimates that can be applied to any of the above algorithms and to any of a wide variety of scenarios is presented. Optimally weighted subspace fitting algorithms are presented for special cases involving random unstructured errors of the array manifold and noise covariance. It is shown that one-dimensional MUSIC outperforms all of the above multidimensional algorithms for random angle-independent array perturbations
