Abstract:
Sparse array design has significant implications for improving the accuracy of direction of arrival （DOA） estimation of non-circular （NC） signals. We propose an extended nested array with a filled sensor （ENAFS） based on the hole-filling strategy. Specifically， we first introduce the improved nested array （INA） and prove its properties. Subsequently， we extend the sum-difference coarray （SDCA） by adding an additional sensor to fill the holes. Thus the larger uniform degrees of freedom （uDOFs） and virtual array aperture （VAA） can be abtained， and the ENAFS is designed. Finally， the simulation results are given to verify the superiority of the proposed ENAFS in terms of DOF， mutual coupling and estimation performance.
