A Reversed and Shift Sparse Array Scheme based on the Difference and Sum Co-array
The reversed and shift (RAS) sparse array scheme, which is based on the difference and sum co-array (DSCA) and remarkably enhances the capability of identifying sources, is proposed. For the original nested array (NA) or co-prime array (CPA), there exists a large overlap between its difference co-array and sum co-array, which prevents it from obtaining high degrees of freedom (DOFs). Motivated by this fact, the RAS scheme is designed for reducing the overlap while increasing the DOFs for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. The proposed scheme is effective for both NA and CPA. The closed-form expression for the relationship between the number of physical sensors and the number of consecutive DSCA sensors is derived. Compared with some representative DSCA based sparse arrays, the proposed one can achieve longer consecutive virtual array. Simulation experiments are carried out to exhibit the enhanced DOA estimation performance of RAS scheme.
