In this article, we develop an interpolation-based algorithm for two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) and polarization estimation with coprime electromagnetic vector-sensor (EMVS) array. First of all, we derive the tensor form coarray output of coprime EMVS array, and perform virtual array interpolation on the output components of the difference coarray. Subsequently, we construct a low-rank third-order augmented tensor using the interpolated uniform linear array output, and derive two important properties for this low-rank tensor in the Fourier domain. Based on these properties, we reconstruct a noise-free third-order augmented tensor by formulating a tensor nuclear norm (TNN) minimization problem. Finally, we derive the closed-form expressions of 2-D DOA and polarization estimates using the reconstructed tensor. Unlike the existing techniques, our approach not only avoids losses in array aperture and degrees-of-freedom, but also exploits the multidimensional structure inherent in the coarray output. Numerical results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm over the existing approaches.

The sum-difference coarray is the union of difference coarray and the sum coarray, which is capable to obtain a higher number of degrees of freedom (DOF) than the difference coarray. However, this method fails to use all information provided by the coprime array because of the existence of holes. In this paper, we introduce the virtual array interpolation into the sum-difference coarray domain. After interpolating the virtualarray, we estimate the DOA by reconstructing the covariance matrix to resolve an atomic norm minimization problem in a gridless way. The proposed method is gridless and can effectively utilize the DOF of a larger virtualarray. Numerical simulation results verify the effectiveness and the superior performance of the proposed algorithm.

Coprime arrays can achieve an increased number of degrees of freedom by deriving the equivalent signals of a virtualarray. However, most existing methods fail to utilize all information received by the coprime array due to the non-uniformity of the derived virtualarray, resulting in an inevitable estimation performance loss. To address this issue, we propose a novel virtual array interpolation-based algorithm for coprime array direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in this paper. The idea of arrayinterpolation is employed to construct a virtual uniform linear array such that all virtual sensors in the non-uniform virtualarray can be utilized, based on which the atomic norm of the second-order virtualarray signals is defined. By investigating the properties of virtual domain atomic norm, it is proved that the covariance matrix of the interpolated virtualarray is related to the virtual measurements under the Hermitian positive semi-definite Toeplitz condition. Accordingly, an atomic norm minimization problem with respect to the equivalent virtual measurement vector is formulated to reconstruct the interpolated virtualarray covariance matrix in a gridless manner, where the reconstructed covariance matrix enables off-grid DOA estimation. Simulation results demonstrate the performance advantages of the proposed DOA estimation algorithm for coprime arrays.

Direct position determination (DPD) refers to determining the target position directly without estimating intermediate positioning parameters. Compared to the traditional two-step methods, it avoids parameter correlations and significantly enhances the algorithm's adaptability to low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) conditions. This paper uses coprime arrays to investigate direct positioning in a motion single-station passive localization system. Addressing issues where current algorithms fail to fully utilize array aperture and perform poorly in low snapshot scenarios, this paper proposes a motion single-station DPD algorithm based on virtual interpolated arrays. The proposed algorithm first uses the l0 atomic norm to estimate the covariance matrix after filling gaps in the difference co-array. Then, the MVDR (Minimum Variance Distortionless Response) method is applied to fuse covariance estimates for localization. Additionally, we derive the Cram & eacute;r-Rao lower bound. Numerical simulations validate the algorithm's performance, demonstrating its ability to maximize the degrees of freedom provided by coprime arrays and achieve superior performance in scenarios with short snapshots.

In this study, a moving single-station direct position determination (DPD) algorithm based on virtual interpolated arrays is proposed. Existing moving single-station algorithms face challenges such as the incomplete utilization of sparse array apertures and insufficient consideration of mixed circular and non-circular signals. To address these issues, we propose an enhanced gridless DPD algorithm, suitable for multiple mixed circular and non-circular sources. Through constructing a non-zero unconjugated covariance matrix from the non-circular components of the mixed signals, the data dimensionality is expanded, and the gridless method is used to fill the voids in the coarray, significantly improving localization performance. Additionally, a unitary transformation method is applied to reduce computational complexity. This method transforms complex operations into real operations by applying unitary transformations to steering vectors and subspaces. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm offers significant advantages in terms of array degrees of freedom and localization accuracy.

Co-prime arrays achieve a significant number of virtualarrays in the same physical sensors by different co-arrays. There are, however, many existing methods that do not utilize all the information that the coprime array receives due to the difference in co-array having defects that cause empty holes in the virtualarrays. To estimate the direction of arrival (DOA), we present in this article an algorithm for co-prime arrayinterpolation based on deep learning (DL). The proposed interpolation algorithm employs the covariance matrix of the interpolated virtualarray to construct a self-supervision loss function based on the Hermitian semi-definite Toeplitz condition. And build a novel net structure to learn the mapping of the loss function described above. First, we build a matrix iterative network (MIN) by the idea of arrayinterpolation such that all the information of the virtualarray can be utilized. Subsequently, we fill in zero elements in each empty hole of virtualarrays, put it into the MIN, and receive the interpolated covariance matrix. By exploiting MIN, we recover the covariance matrix for DOA estimation. The simulation performance and experimental result have verified the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Coprime arrays can highly increase degree-of-freedom (DOF) by exploiting the equivalent virtual signal. However, since the corresponding virtualarray constructed by the coprime array is always a non-uniform linear array (non-ULA), most existing direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms fail to utilize all received information and result in performance degradation. To address this issue, we propose a novel interpolation approach for coprime arrays to convert the virtualarray into a ULA with which all received information can be efficiently utilized. In this paper, we consider a weighted covariance matrix fitting criterion to formulate a semi-definite programming (SDP) problem with respect to the interpolated virtual signal. After that, we can reconstruct a Hermitian Toeplitz covariance matrix corresponding to the interpolated ULA in a gridless manner, and the number of detectable targets is ulteriorly increased with the reconstructed covariance matrix. The proposed approach is hyperparameter-free so that the tedious process of selecting regularization parameters is avoided. Numerical experiments validate the superiority of the proposed interpolation-based DOA estimation algorithm in terms of DOF characteristic, resolution ability and estimation accuracy compared with several existing techniques.

Coprime arrays have been widely adopted for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation since it can achieve an increased number of degrees of freedom (DOF). To utilize all information received by the coprime array, arrayinterpolation methods are developed, which construct a virtual uniform linear array (ULA) with the same aperture from the non-uniform coprime array. However, the conventional non-robust DOA estimation algorithms for coprime arrays, including the interpolation based methods, suffer from degraded performance or even failed operation when some sensors are miscalibrated. In this paper, a novel maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) based virtual array interpolation algorithm for robust DOA estimation is developed to address this problem. The proposed approach treats the miscalibrated sensor observations as outliers, and by exploiting the property of MCC, the interpolated virtualarray covariance matrix is reconstructed via nuclear norm minimization (NNM) with less influence of these outliers. In this manner, the robust DOA estimation is enabled by the robustly reconstructed covariance matrix. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively the mitigate effect of the miscalibrated sensors while maintaining the enhanced DOF offered by coprime arrays.

This paper proposes a robust signal interpolation approach for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation when several sensors in a coprime array are not properly calibrated. In such case, the conventional interpolation approaches will lead to an inaccurate or even failed DOA estimation. In our proposed approach, observations obtained from the sensors without calibration are blindly treated as outliers. The interpolation problem is formulated as an atomic norm minimization (ANN") problem, where the M-estimator is employed as the regularization term to reduce the adverse impact of outliers. The DOA estimation results can be thus robustly obtained by applying the interpolated virtual signal matrix. Numerical experiments verify that our interpolation algorithm outperformance existing arrayinterpolation methods in terms of robustness.
