Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Recently, according to rapid spreading of cellular phones and wireless LAN equipment, importance of a precise direction of arrival (DOA) estimation technology becomes larger in order to investigate propagation environments or determine terminal's position. Generally, an array antenna with an estimation is used for the DOA estimation algorithm. In a case where the element position of array antenna is fixed, the higher frequency signal is used, the higher resolution DOA estimation is. However, calculation load increases because we must treat MUSIC spectra which have a narrow angle step and grating lobes occur by using high frequency signals for a fixed element interval. The authers have proposed the precise DOA estimation method using wide-band signals. In the beginning, coarse DOA is estimated at the lowest frequency band that grating lobes do not appear. Next, precise DOA estimation is done at higher frequency band in a narrower angle range in order to prevent grating lobes and calculation load. In this paper, we propose a method that can prevent grating lobes much effectively by changing adaptively the band in higher frequencies. We evaluated the performance of the technique using computer simulations. From the computer simulations, we show the highly accuracy of the proposed method.
