Abstract(in English) Direction of arrival estimation techniques are used for radio localization of radio transmitters. As a representative localization method, there is a method of obtaining the intersection point from the angle of arrival (AOA) of the radio wave estimated by each of the two radio sensors. In this report, we compare a deep-learning based AOA estimation method and multiple signal classification (MUSIC) method. As is the case with MUSIC method, the deep-learning based method requires to separate multiple and different angle of arrival signals. This report shows the results of study on the case of changing the number of incident signals of learning data and that of estimating data. The theoretical characteristics of array antenna depend on the geometric arrangement of the antenna elements. However, the practical characteristics are affected by antenna element coupling and the other non-ideal phenomena. We show approximation formulae of the characteristics of antenna element coupling, and the effects on the AOA estimation results. These studies clarified that the performance of the deep-learning based AOA estimation method is better than that of MUSIC method.
