The problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is investigated for co-prime array, where the co-prime array consists of two uniform sparse linear subarrays with extended inter-element spacing. For each sparse subarray, true DOAs are mapped into several equivalent angles impinging on the traditional uniform linear array with half-wavelength spacing. Then, by applying the estimation of sign...

We present a subspace-based direction-finding method for coherent signal environments using an antenna array. Our method, which uses fourth-order statistics, is capable of resolving more signals than a comparable second-order statistics-based subspace method and is applicable to a larger class of arrays. The maximum number of signals resolvable with our method may exceed the number of sensors i...

Ultra Wideband Antenna Array Processing Under Spatial Aliasing. (August 2007) Alireza Shapoury, B.S., Shahid Beheshti University of Iran; M.S., Iran University of Science and Technology Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Erchin Serpedin Given a certain transmission frequency, Shannon spatial sampling limit defines an upper bound for the antenna element spacing. Beyond this bound, the exceeded amb...

In this paper, we propose a fast search-free method for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation with coprime arrays. A coprime array consists of two uniform linear subarrays with inter-element spacings Mλ/2 and Nλ/2, where M and N are coprime integers and λ is the wavelength of the signal. Because uniform linear arrays enjoy many processing advantages over arbitrary geometry arrays, our strategy ...
