Consistent Least Squares Estimator for Co-Array-Based DOA Estimation

Sparse linear arrays (SLAs), such as nested and co-prime arrays, have the attractive capability of providing enhanced degrees of freedom by exploiting the co-array model. Accordingly, co-array-based Direction of Arrivals (Doas) estimation has recently gained considerable interest in array processing. The literature has suggested applying MUSIC on an augmented sample covariance matrix for co-array-based Doas estimation. In this paper, we propose...
