Abstract:

To solve the problem of limited aperture of traditional uniform circular arrays, a co-prime circular array is designed, and on this basis, a two-dimensional direction of arrival estimation method based on phase mode excitation is studied. First, two uniform circular sub-arrays with a distance between array elements greater than half a wavelength are stacked to form a relatively prime circular array structure. Then, based on the phase mode transformation algorithm, the element space problem is transformed into the beam space. The algorithm combines the co-prime circular array into a Vandermonde structure similar to ULA and the Hermitian center symmetrical array flow pattern, reducing the dimensions of spectral peak searching, realizing array flow pattern through unitary transformation, reducing algorithm complexity. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments show that under the same conditions, compared with the uniform circular array MUSIC algorithm, the proposed phase mode excitation MUSIC algorithm for the relatively prime circular array reduces the running time from 1.825 s to 0.622 s, increases the array aperture MN/(M+N-2) times, improves the DOA estimation accuracy and the real-time performance of the system, and it has a higher resolution for the estimation of similar sources.
