Abstract: | We present a 2-D direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm in the presence of unknown mutual coupling for the uniform rectangular array (URA) based on the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. By setting the sensors on the boundary of the URA as auxiliary sensors, it can accurately estimate the DOAs without any calibration sources or iterative operations. We prove that the effect of mutual coupling can be eliminated by the inherent mechanism of the proposed method. Twice search technique is used to reduce the computation of the 2-D spectrum search. Moreover, we provide a method to estimate the mutual coupling coefficients after getting the DOA estimates. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. |
