An eigenstructure-based 2D DOA estimation method using dual-size spatial invariance array

A sparse planar array vertically placed in y-z plane is proposed to improve the angle estimation accuracy of sources in low angle region with reflection multipath.With two sizes of spatial invariances along both dimensions,the array estimates the azimuth and elevation angles using unitary ESPRIT(estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques).The first spatial invariance with a displacement of half-wavelength yields unambiguous coarse estimates of high-variance,while the second spatial...
