Summary: 
A new wideband signal DOA estimation algorithm based on modified quantum genetic algorithm (MQGA) is proposed in the presence of the errors and the mutual coupling between array elements. In the algorithm, the narrowband signal subspace fitting method is generalized to wideband signal DOA finding according to the character of space spectrum of wideband signal, and so the rule function is constructed. Then, the solutions is encoded onto chromosomes as a string of binary sequence, the variable quantum rotation angle is defined according to the distribution of optimization solutions. Finally, we use the MQGA algorithm to solve the nonlinear global azimuths optimization problem, and get optimization azimuths by fitness values. The computer simulation results illustrated that the new algorithm have good estimation performance.
