Abstract EN
The limited space of a conformal array may lead to a serious mutual coupling effect, which will significantly affect the performance of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms.
In this paper, an efficient 2-D direction finding method is developed in the presence of unknown mutual coupling for the uniform cylindrical conformal array (CCA).
To avoid the time-consuming two-dimensional spectral peak searching, the 2-D DOA estimation is decoupled and divided into two 1-D DOA estimations.
Elevation is first estimated based on a subarray estimation of signal parameters via rotation invariant technique (ESPRIT), and then azimuth is estimated based on the rank reduction (RARE) method by using the elevation estimation result.
Consequently, the mutual coupling coefficients can be estimated after getting the DOA estimates.
The proposed method can well calibrate the mutual coupling effect of a cylindrical array with a low computational complexity.
The final simulation results corroborate our analysis.
