Abstract:

Nested arrays have garnered significant interest owing to their large array apertures and more degrees of freedom. However, most studies have been focused on direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of narrow-band and stationary signals. Few studies have been conducted on wide-band signals, particularly nonstationary wide-band signals. In this paper, based on fractional Fourier transform and DOA matrix method, a two-dimensional angle measurement algorithm of nested array is proposed to accurately estimate the spatial DOA of wide-band linear-frequency-modulation signals without two-dimensional nonlinear search and parameter pairing. Simulation results confirm the superiority of the new algorithm.

Key words: Nested array, fractional Fourier transform (FrFT), matrix method, wide-band, direction-of-arrival (DOA)
