  • In this paper, Root-MUSIC algorithm for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of uncorrelated signals is explored both for uniform linear and uniform circular arrays. The basic problem in Uniform Linear Arrays (ULAs) is Mutual coupling between the individual elements of the antenna array. This problem is reduced in Uniform Circular Arrays (UCAs) because of its symmetric structure. The DOA estimation of uncorrelated signals that have different power levels is simulated on a MATLAB environment. And the noise consider is white across all the array elements. The factors considered for simulation are number of number of snapshots, array elements, radius of circular array, array length, and signal to noise ratio.
