Abstract: In this paper the conventional MUSIC method is modified to estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) of ocean currents, i.e., performing Toeplitzization on the array covariance matrix before implementing the MUSIC method. Theoretical analysis and simulation show that this process can reduce the effect of correlation between signals, and can therefore improve the performance of estimation remarkably. Finally by analyzing the measured data, it is shown that the improved method can detect the currents more effectively.

Key words: current, correlation, Multiple Signal Classifcation(MUSIC), Toeplitzization
