Tensor‐based direction of arrival estimation with array virtual translation technique

Abstract The tensor‐based spatial smoothing is a good algorithm for the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, but it cannot make good use of the physical aperture of the array, so the paper proposes a tensor‐based array virtual translation DOA estimation algorithm to solve the problem. Under the fr...

description Abstract The tensor‐based spatial smoothing is a good algorithm for the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, but it cannot make good use of the physical aperture of the array, so the paper proposes a tensor‐based array virtual translation DOA estimation algorithm to solve the problem. Under the framework of tensor‐based DOA estimation algorithm, the factor matrix obtained by tensor decomposition is extended to a signal subspace with Vandermonde structure by using array virtual translation technology. In addition, the algorithm expands the available array aperture, breaks through the limitation of physical array aperture on multi‐target estimation ability, and further improves the estimation accuracy. Since the processing technique proposed in this paper has nothing to do with the construction of tensors, this technique is suitable for conventional DOA estimation algorithms based on tensors. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed in this paper.
