We study two-dimensional direction of arrival (2D-DOA) estimation problem of monostatic MIMO radar with the receiving array which consists of electromagnetic vector sensors (EMVSs). The proposed angle estimation algorithm can be applied to the arbitrary and unknown array configuration, which can be summarized as follows. Firstly, EMVSs in the receiver of a monostatic MIMO radar are used to measure all six electromagnetic-field components of an incident wavefield. The vector sensor array with the six unknown electromagnetic-field components is divided into six spatially identical subarrays. Secondly, ESPRIT is utilized to estimate the rotational invariant factors (RIFs). Parts of the RIFs are picked up to restore the source’s electromagnetic-field vector. Last, a vector cross product operation is performed between electric field and magnetic field to obtain the Pointing vector, which can offer the 2D-DOA estimation. Prior knowledge of array elements’ positions and angle searching procedure are not necessary for the proposed 2D-DOA estimation method. Simulation results prove the validity of the proposed method.

In order to reduce the loss of Degree of Freedom (DOF) brought by the transmit subarray splitting of two-dimensional hybrid phased-MIMO radar, this paper presents a design method of transmitting and receiving array based on nested array structure. Firstly, a two-dimensional hybrid phased-MIMO radar transmitting array based on one-dimensional nested array is presented. On this basis, the receiving end is set as a nested array, and finally a virtual array and difference coarray are formed to expand the number of virtual array elements. The expansion increases the DOF of arrays while preserving the advantages of hybrid phased-MIMO radars. Simulation experiments show that compared with the traditional and coprime hybrid phased-MIMO radar, the proposed method can effectively improve the array DOF and Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) estimation accuracy.

In this paper, an improved two-dimensional (2-D) direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm for L-shaped nested arrays is proposed. Unlike the approach for a classical nested array, which use the auto-correlation matrix (ACM) to increase the degrees of freedom (DOF), we utilize the cross-correlation matrix (CCM) of different sub-arrays to generate two long consecutive virtual arrays. These acquire a large number of DOF without redundant elements and eliminate noise effects. Furthermore, we reconstruct the CCM based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) operation in order to reduce the perturbation of noise for small numbers of samples. To cope with the matrix rank deficiency of the virtual arrays, we construct the full rank equivalent covariance matrices by using the output and its conjugate vector of virtual arrays. The unitary estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT) is then performed on the covariance matrices to obtain the DOA of incident signals with low computational complexity. Finally, angle pairing is achieved by deriving the equivalent signal vector of the virtual arrays using the estimated angles. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed algorithm not only provides more accurate 2-D DOA estimation performance with low complexity, but also achieves angle estimation for small numbers of samples compared to existing similar methods.

We investigate the topic of two-dimensional direction of arrival (2D-DOA) estimation for rectangular array. This paper links angle estimation problem to compressive sensing trilinear model and derives a compressive sensing trilinear model-based angle estimation algorithm which can obtain the paired 2D-DOA estimation. The proposed algorithm not only requires no spectral peak searching but also has better angle estimation performance than estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) algorithm. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm has close angle estimation performance to trilinear decomposition. The proposed algorithm can be regarded as a combination of trilinear model and compressive sensing theory, and it brings much lower computational complexity and much smaller demand for storage capacity. Numerical simulations present the effectiveness of our approach.
