Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of noncircular signals for coprime linear array is investigated, and a combined estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT) based algorithm is proposed. The coprime linear array can be de-composed into two uniform linear arrays, so ESPRIT is firstly used to obtain ambiguous DOA estimations, then unique DOA estimation is achieved by finding the coincide results from the two decomposed subarrays based on the coprimeness. The proposed algorithm increase the degree of freedom, enhance the performance of angle estimation, and identifies more targets than conventional methods. Numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the improvement of the proposed algorithm.
