TWO-DIMENSIONAL DOA ESTIMATION USING A CO-PRIME SYMMETRIC CROSS ARRAY
Sheng Liu, Li Sheng Yang, De Cheng Wu, Jian Hua Huang · Progress In Electromagnetics Research C · 2014
In this paper, a co-prime symmetric sparse cross array is employed to estimate two- dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA). Some special forth-order-cumulants (FOCs) of array received data are used to construct a high-order matrix that is equivalent to a cross-covariance matrix based on two uniform linear arrays. After some modifications, an existing 2-D DOA estimation algorithm becomes more effective, and it shows further improved performance when the co-prime symmetric cross array is utilized. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of our methods.
